Pros:

The location is perfect, just 10-15 minutes from most gates.

Cons:

There should be more people at reception, check-in is a bit slow and it’s the last thing you need after a long flight.

Cons:

Прилетели около 12 ночи, с нами двое детей. Они устали и хотели спать. Но в номере не были подготовлены для них спальные места! Пришлось еще ждать, пока им сделают и заправят кровати. Это огорчило

Pros:

Удобно что этотнахолится в самом аэропорту.

Cons:

За 260 долларов в отеле должно быть чисто, не должно быть пыли в комнате. В душевой не должно быть плесени, вода должна уходить в слив а не стоять в 2 см высотой в душевой кабине. Туалеты должны быть чистыми и полы тоже... Я конечно понимаю что это не Европа но не думал что все будет так плохо...

A bit overpriced but very comfortable way to sleep during a long flight change
Pros:

A unique location that allows you to stay in the "clean" area of the airport and not spend a lot of time and effort going through all the controls if you have a long transfer. Very comfortable beds and well-designed lighting. You feel like you're in a pretty decent hotel, not a one-night stand.

Cons:

The shower area is not very comfortable: if you travel with your family, you have to go to the toilet and wash yourself literally behind a thin curtain. Some rooms are located in such a way that they are difficult to find in the maze of corridors, although, in general, navigation around the hotel is quite good and the staff is always ready to help.
