Great short stay close to airport
Pros:

Friendly staff, especially at the front desk. They made great suggestions for our trip into the city. Shuttle was on time and hotel is right across from the airport. Great for a weekend layover. Comfortable beds. Food was good. Dessert was amazing.

Cons:

Slight mistake with room service but quickly corrected. Shower was in the room separated by a curtain.

Overall, great value for money and I would definitely stay there again.
Pros:

The room was spacious, the bed very comfy and the close proximity to the airport + shuttle service. I would definitely stay there again. I enjoyed it.

Cons:

The water pressure could have been a bit stronger + I don't like those modern shower enclosures which I find half-baked - provide proper doors that close properly.

Séjour exceptionnel !
Pros:

L’emplacement proche de l’aéroport. Le shuttle permettait de pouvoir aller jusqu’à l’aéroport de manière très pratique car 2 shuttles par heure.
Le personnel a été fatastique. Un avis très spécial pour une des managers, une dame blonde, d’une gentillesse exceptionnelle et très efficace.
La décoration était extraordinaire pour nous qui sommes des fanatiques d’aviation.
Merci pour ce magnifique séjour.
