Convenient and Comfortable Airport Stay

I appreciated the direct access to the North Terminal via the passageway. This made the early morning flight much easier. The room was clean and included a modern bathroom. I found the large bed to be very comfortable. The hotel restaurant provided an excellent meal..
The walkway tube leading to the hotel had an intense lemony scent. It was slightly reminiscent of toilet cleaner.

The hotel is very close to the airport, it was a major advantage. The location is really great.
My room was not very clean. The bin wasn't emptied. The air conditioning was very loud and I did not find instructions on how to control it. I complained to the reception, but it disturbed our rest.

A staff member was awaiting us when we arrived. They also escorted our luggage directly to the room! The room was clean. I especially liked the smart TV that allowed access to my own Netflix account. It was a real treat. I appreciated the snacks and drinks available with a lovely view from 6 pm.
There were not enough of them. It was like it took forever to reach the lobby, slightly inconvenient.
