decent airport stay

friendly staffclean roomwarm airfaulty thermostat
i found the staff friendly and cute. the room was clean, and it was comfortable. i liked the atmosphere.
My room was like a sauna. I called down to report it. i was told to check the thermostat, and it was set correctly. they sent a fan up, but it basically blew warm air around the room.

runway romance, a dreamy escape!

efficient check-insuper clean roomrunway viewfull car park
the check-in was quick and efficient, easy after our journey. our room, a superior room runway view, was super clean. i especially loved that our window offered a fine view of the runway, perfect for watching the planes take off. the bed was heavenly, and the shower had a powerful, revitalizing spray!
the hotel car park felt quite full, and i noticed some cars parked on footpaths. navigating around some corners was difficult, and it caused some inconvenience, especially when finding a space.
