Good location if you got an early flight the next morning, but the hotel room is quite dated and could use a refresher. Mattress could also use a replacement. Food in the restaurant was good.

The juicer at breakfast was great but some refills of veggies would have been good
The bathroom was rather old but clean. The beds had the best pillows we’ve had during our holidays so far.
Good location with closeness to airport

There’s a self service juicer at breakfast! I’ve never seen this before at a breakfast bar in a hotel - extra points for this alone!
Hotel is clean, bed comfy, good WiFi in the rooms and the staff all super friendly. Will definitely be back here for my pre/post flight needs.
