Checking in was so smooth! the airport shuttle was super convenient. It made my early morning flight stress-free. i really liked that there were places to eat so close to the hotel, a big plus after a long day of travel.
the pillows felt a bit too firm for my liking, but it's a minor thing!

The bed proved too firm for my preference. It lacked adequate support. a bedside lamp was also faulty, it did not function at all. noise was a significant issue. other guests created disturbances late into the night with slamming doors and loud conversations.

staff provided quick transport to the airport. the location near spitfire square is very convenient. many food options are only minutes away on foot. the staff were especially helpful THERE.
i was put in the wrong room unfortunately. this caused a chaotic move with small kids and all our bags. the room change was to include two beds as requested, but a cot was missing. it was very cold overnight and the heat pump was directly over the beds.
