I loved the location, and they managed to give us a room upgrade since it was our honeymoon. I have a hearing disability and the staff was so helpful and gave me a device that would wake me up if any alarms/emergencies happened. You can’t beat the location either, the airport team was right outside.

It was pretty expensive for three nights but it was worth it. Would’ve loved if it came with more hotel amenities like shampoo, conditioners and lotions etc.

Room was pretty small. Disappointed not to be able to get fresh milk from the bar to make tea/coffee in the room (UHT milk is revolting)
