Great location but that’s it.
The check in was a bit lack lustre. Basically just gave us our door card after swiping the credit card. No explanation about our room, or our included breakfast and restaurant. The service in the bar for a couple of drinks and bar snacks was terrible.

Very convenient for having to get up at 4am to check in for our flight. Had some communication issues when arriving as I asked for clarification on the size of the double beds (sometimes hotels just use "double" as a generic term for larger than single). The concierge assured me that they were large beds, ie queen size. On going to the room we discovered that they were just standard doubles - nowhere near big enough for me and my 6'4" husband to share! I was also disappointed to only be given one facecloth for the three of us in the room.
