Pros:

Great location

Cons:

The pillows are terrible. Theyre hard like rocks and so large. The food was terrible especially given the high cost. Ordered room service and I couldn't eat it - it wasn't as described and also arrived cold and stale. It was too late at night so I just went to sleep.

Highly recommend for late arrivals or early departures .
Pros:

Hotel situated above shops inside airport so no need to go outside. 24hour check in perfect for us as we arrived at midnight and couldn’t pick up our rental car till the following morning. Very quiet didn’t hear any planes outside even though we could see the runway.

The Ultimate Terminal-Linked Convenience Wellington Hotel
Pros:

The room was clean, excellent service during check-in check-out, staff members were professional, efficient and friendly. I was also incredibly impressed by how quiet and soundproof the room was, despite being right at the airport terminal. The convenience of simply walking to my flight made my travel stress-free. Furthermore, the room was immaculate and well-appointed, and i truly enjoyed the delicious food at the restaurants.  

Cons:

Everything was awesome.
