One night stand
Pros:

Had a one night stay prior to an early morning flight. Hotel checkin was easy and friendly with Johnson, where he acknowledged stays and upgraded the room

The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, having a queen bed and a sofa. The bed was comfortable and delivered a great sleep. The bathroom was compact, to say the least with an over bath shower.

Towels and linen were of good quality and the furnishings were without stain or damage.

Overall a great nights stay. A note of caution, check your bill on departure and if you have it mailed to you make sure the correct bill arrived in your inbox before you leave!

Two nights w breakfast in Dec
Pros:

Walking distance from airport. Nice atmosphere. Staff courteous. Rooms comfy and clean.

I don't recall sheets. I got too hot with cover, and cold without it. Difficult to find a happy medium.

Breakfast was good, but there should be sanitizer. Guava nectar and orange juice were delicious 😋.

No drinking water, apples or coffee in lobby. Two glass bottles for 4 guests were provided in room.
No lip balm @reception

Good experience In general
We got a military discount 🙏

Something has gone wrong
Pros:

I am a regular reviewer of this hotel and have never given it less than 5 stars but my recent visit was not up to its usual standard. I am still pleased with location, room comfort and cleanliness. However, the restaurant was hopeless. Tables and floors were uncleared, staff hard to find and very confused, food slow to arrive despite few people in the restaurant. Possibly a staffing issue with those covering untrained. Definitely needs to sharpen up.

Excellent choice
Pros:

Stayed in few airport hotels in my time and have to say this is one of the best. Usually they are a bit down at heel, scuffed and sometimes a bit grubby due to the volume of traffic they have.

Here, the common parts looked clean and well maintained; hall and bedroom carpets clean. Room itself, pristine.

Very good beds and linen, no plane noise, in fact, no noise at all really.

Restaurant has a reasonable range of food but AVOID the 'crispy duck salad' it was horrible - I chose badly.

Staff are pleasant. ( and it must be a nightmare recruiting and retaining staff for the period between Xmas and New Year.)

Classy hotel but training of staff could improve.
Pros:

Professional and friendly staff, you are made to feel very welcome.
The rooms are spacious and clean with a comfy bed and pillows. The tv is huge and has a wide range of channels.
The bathroom has everything you need with quality soap, shampoo, and conditioner. There is a quirky mirror that doesn't steam up, allowing you to shave straight after a shower.
Ample room for clothes. There is an iron, hairdryer, and a bag for any dry cleaning required. Expensive but it is London.
The restaurant is different. The staff are very friendly and the menu is varied and competitively priced. The night we booked for dinner, it was very busy. After giving our order, it seemed to fall apart. After 20 minutes, we were told the order had been lost in the system and had to be reordered. We ordered again, and after another wait, we received our food. There was no mention of chilly on my tofu salad, and it was way too hot to eat. Had I known, I would have chosen differently. The soup was supposed to be tomato but ended up as vegetable, but it was perfect. The bread was very good also. My wife's fish and chips were warm rather than hot, and her glass of rose wine took a while to appear. I received a large glass of Romanian red wine, which was very nice, and there was no charge due to the problems we experienced.
The staff tried so hard, but their inexperience coupled with how busy the restaurant was seemed to overwhelm them. I would gladly return, but hopefully, at a quieter time.

Easy stopover night before flight
Pros:

Comfortable, quiet room, decent size. Easy walk to terminal next morning. Parking here was expensive for our 10 day break so we parked long stay which is right by it so just a short walk from car to hotel. Food was average but ok

A rather happy accident
Pros:

My stay at this hotel was a very welcomed surprised. Delayed because I missed my connecting flight, I was greeted with great staff and accommodations. The room was quiet, the food was tasty, and I enjoyed many convos including talking to one of the wait staff, Juliette, about her upcoming trip to Bangkok. If you need any overnight stay close to the airport, this Courtyard by Marriott is the spot.

Love the place and the team
Pros:

Love the place and the team

Every time I arrive late in the evening after work, Omar welcomes me with a warm smile. We always have a quick chat, and honestly, when you’re staying somewhere for a few days, being greeted in such a genuinely friendly way makes all the difference.

I highly recommend this place without any hesitation.
The whole team is fantastic — always smiling, always doing their best to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

I can say this with confidence because it’s far from my first stay here… and that’s exactly why I keep coming back.

Thank you to the entire wonderful team, and a special thank you to Omar.
