    The air con is the only blemish

    rating10 Dec 2025

    This was a well placed hotel, being about two miles from the airport yet free from aircraft noise. There is a half hourly shuttle bus service. We arrived early evening and left early the following morning for our international flight.The evening buffet dinner was excellent. There was a wide range of fresh quality food.We had to leave before the breakfast service started, but on check in the helpful receptionist added our names to the list of guests who could collect a breakfast box on departure. Again, it was substantial and good quality.Our room was quite small, but adequate for our needs. The only problem was that the efficient air con system was very noisy. It was only on opening the curtains on vacating the room that we noticed that the window could have been opened overnight!If the air con issue is addressed this is a good transit hotel.

    Musty smell from old carpet, noisy AC, free shuttle to airport

    rating04 Dec 2025

    Sub par experience. It was just for one night but disappointing. There are better options nearby with shuttle for similar prices.While one night was tolerable, I would not stay there again nor recommend it.Pros: close to airport, free shuttle, affordable food option (particularly like their pub), pool, gym.Cons: musty smell from old carpet, noisy AC, rusty windows... the humidity level in the bedroom was high and not controlable with the AC.
