Really good Airport Proximity
easy accessawesome serviceslow process
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.

My room was spacious and quiet. The room provided adequate facilities. The room was clean. These features contributed to a restful night of sleep before my flight.
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.

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.

I found the reception staff helpful . The room service delivers food directly to your room for convenience. The staff provided assistance, even offering a discount on parking during checkout.
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.
