Really happy with my stay at Commodore and will definitely be back on my next visit.
Pros:

Loved the business suite I stayed in for the week - very comfortable and the large bathroom with bath and balcony were lovely - made it more like staying in a unit rather than a hotel room. The restaurant is great- fantastic coffee and good staff. Loved that my rental car was also facilitated at the hotel lobby directly and having free airport shuttle was handy.

Best airport stay ever
Pros:

Fantastic hotel, one of the best airport hotels I’ve stayed in staff we’re all great, especially Michael who I thought was the area manager but all staff representative to all their customer

Cons:

The property is great well maintained and it was nice to see that you could smoke outside and for disabled passengers to smoke outside their room, which is great for me

A bit noisy but very convenient
Pros:

Location was great, as was the shuttle service. We found the rooms quite noisy at night, easy to hear noise from the hallways, closing doors etc. Friendly staff and convenient to have a restaurant on site also. Decent for airport accommodation, but wouldn’t stay if not for the convenience.

Cons:

Noise
