Overall, it was a very good experience and we would gladly stay here again.
Pros:

The hotel is adjacent to the airport which is very convenient for quick, overnight layovers. Upon arrival, we were upgraded to the junior suite which was great, especially after a long day of flying. Our dinner at the hotel restaurant was excellent and the staff provided exceptional service throughout our stay.

Cons:

Considering the price, I would rate the breakfast underwhelming but ok...

Inconsistent and limited casual dining
Pros:

Location and rooms were ideal - this was our second stay in a month but a completely different experience

Cons:

Casual dining in evening is very limited and restricted
Staff on this occasion were not as keen to help and support on this stay - a marked difference to stay a month earlier

Expected higher quality for the price
Pros:

Very convenient for the airport and the staff were very helpful and kind.

Cons:

The plug to the bath didn't work, the shower was quite weak and the door did not lock properly from the inside. The room service food was average. It wasn't a terrible stay but for the price I expected way more.

Very conveniently placed for an overnight stay between flights, good food, very comfortable room and great service from the staff. We even were assisted carrying our luggage from the hotel to the airline check in desk at 6am in the morning, stellar service!
