Room was nice and large - bathroom needs a refurb! Slow reception. Overall good stay
Pros:

The location is excellent for the airport . Great for onsite parking
Staff in the restaurant were lovely and the food was reasonably priced and good

Cons:

Reception staff were very slow and appeared comfortable to keep us waiting for our room when it should have been ready and the knew we were waiting for nearly an hour
The swimming pool was disappointing as it was small and noisy. Jacuzzi was nice and hot but the jets were too powerful that it splashed water in your face
