Had stayed there before and knew what it was like and not far from the airport.
Pros:

Been there before years ago with my husband. Let down by Virgin booking me into Ibis budget hotel that was disgusting. So moved to the Brassey, not far from the airport.

Cons:

The restaurant was no longer on site so had to walk to another hotel to have late lunch to avoid going out again at night as I was by myself, mature lady with bad back.
The carpet in my room needs a good shampoo.
