Good but frustrating at times.
Pros:

Airport convenient

Cons:

The distance of Ibis to reception. You book all three hotels separately yet the are the same location. Staff were expecting me to walk with very heavy luggage all that way. I asked for a lift and got one. Also I was put in an upstairs room, and requested a change so I didn’t have to drag my cases upstairs!
