10/10 Excellent
"Very convenient for a lay over, the 24 hour airport shuttle is really helpful, might take a little while but it’s complimentary. The hotel was well maintained and the rooms are very comfortable. Staff was helpful at all moments. The surroundings of the property are also very walkable with restaurants around. I would stay here again."
