great locationefficient servicelounge tvshard mattressshort setteecommunication issue
The location was great for accessing the terminal for an early flight. It was a short walk. The bar service was efficient and nice. The lounge had TVs, so I was able to watch some games. I also liked that the room had what I needed.
The bed mattress felt hard. I asked about a topper, but they had none. The staff gave me extra bedding, so someone slept on the settee. I later found out this was a bed settee, but it was too short to sleep comfortably. It would have been helpful if the staff had prepared the bed in advance.

the room, it was a superior room, had extra toiletries i didn't expect. housekeeping kept everything tidy, it was a lovely retreat after my long days.
the air conditioning unit in the room was quite loud. it sometimes made it difficult to drift off to sleep so easily, and the breakfast buffet was sometimes crowded, meaning wait times for coffee.

the family queen room sofa was great. the restaurant had tasty food at affordable prices. the hotel's location next to the airport made access easy for my early flight.
My room was quite noisy because it was next to the service lift. This was not ideal. the bathroom felt small. the air conditioning was also very noisy, hard to sleep.
