Really good Airport Proximity

The hotel enjoys easy access to the international terminal. I found less stress associated with travel days. The location next to the airport proved beneficial, especially with multiple flights. Staff exhibited awesome service.
The check in process was slow. I had to queue to collect keys. Online check in should streamline key retrieval more effectively.

The bed was comfortable. I liked that the toilet was separate from the shower area. The view over the runway was nice.
I only stayed one night. I was disgusted that they charge $5 for a basic bottle of water. Most hotels offer this complimentary.

quick walkroom upgradequiet floorlow air conditioning
The hotel is close to the international terminal. I appreciated the quick walk. The room upgrade was a fantastic surprise. It provided a more spacious and comfortable stay. I found the quiet floor beneficial for resting before my travels.
The air conditioning was set too low, it made the room uncomfortably cold, and I couldn't adjust it to a warmer setting.

The hotel location is convenient to the airport. I could easily walk to my terminal. The restaurant seemed nice and the breakfast buffet had variety. The juicer was a nice amenity.
The room rate seemed quite high. I noted an absence of a coffee machine in the room. Retouching of paint on the walls was visible and not well executed.
