1))) I called the hotel upon arrival to get better guidance for the shuttle's pick up spot. I was told to await it in the general area nearby a particular gate within my terminal of arrival. It was a bit confusing as there were numerous other shuttles, whether from hotels or other entities, picking up passengers in a broad span of space. It would have been a lot easier had there been an assigned spot for the shuttle. To avoid missing mine, I had to pace across a wide area as to visually scan for arriving shuttles. Furthermore, no specific time of pick up was specified, adding extra challenge to my lookout.. This strategy paid off, and I was able to intercept the shuttle before it took off. Returning to the airport was a lot easier as there was a sign up sheet for different time slots, 30 min apart and the driver picked us up at the time I requested.
2)))Our room was clean with manageable noise level even with planes taking off right above the hotel. There was a very pronouced smell of some sort of chemical in our room, which I attributed to a cleaner. I did not notice tobacco smell in the building.
3))) Breakfast options included apples, bananas, organic milk, sweet yogurt and muffins, to which I gladly give solid 4 stars.
