empty dishes mediocre service

The 2 minute shuttle to the airport was acceptable.

My breakfast experience was not good. There were very few staff working and food dishes were empty. I had to still pay full price for mediocre service , and that was disappointing.

Airport Proximity Bliss

short walk early flights easy parking reasonable price

The hotel is a brief walk to the terminals. This was so helpful for early flights. Parking access was easy. I found the price reasonable considering how close it is to the airport. It suited my needs completely.

The corridors seemed somewhat dim.

The hotel provides fresh water, including sparkling water, on tap. There is a fruit juicer available at breakfast and a large Nutella dispenser is accessible. I also found the excellent coffee machine.

I ordered a club sandwich from the restaurant. Breakfast starts early at 5:30 am. This allows travelers to have a meal before an early flight. That worked perfectly for me.

Convenient Airport Stay

helpful staff fast check-in close proximity

The hotel is quite close to the domestic terminal, a definite plus. I found the staff very helpful . Fast check-in and check-out (always appreciated when you're on a tight schedule).

The bar had limited spirit options. Canadian club whiskey was only enough for one drink.

Dining

The dining area provided tasty food and pleasant service. I ordered an omelette for breakfast, and the chef prepared it nicely (a simple gesture, done well). There were few gluten free options though.
