Really good Airport Stay!

efficient shuttlehelpful staffpoor soundproofing

The airport shuttle was prompt and efficient. I really appreciated the free service! The staff was helpful, especially with directions. The breakfast had a wide selection of tasty options. The hot water in the shower was plentiful, it was a treat after a long journey.

The soundproofing could be better. I did hear some noise from the hallway during the evening. Earplugs were a big help.

the hotel was near the airport which was acceptable.

The person picking me up from the airport acted really rude upon my arrival. there was confusion about the pick up spot because i struggled to understand his accent. he, called me hopeless and continued to berate me in the van. This made for an uncomfortable drive. i now question staying at another ibis in the future.
