Lovely hotel but need to operate more shuttle bus
Very disappointing that there was no availability for shuttle to airport when travelling early in morning with 3 small children. We tried to book shuttle as soon as we checked in. appears they only operate one vehicle every 20 mins, not good enough when this is advertised as an option when booking the hotel

Beds
The beds appear to be a last minute addition some cheap deal they got. They maybe okay if you’re the only one in the bed if not you will be bouncing around all night

Even though a pillow menu was on the bedside table, it wasn’t until we were in bed that we should have had pillows a lot lower. Different pillows in the room instead of 4 the same would have been helpful. The rest of the room was lovely.

Perfect Airport Hotel
Perfect hotel when catching an early connection in the morning. New and clean. Pricey food and beverage options which was the only down side.

No shower door in a small bathroom space which increased risk of safety with nearby electrical items. No bathroom privacy with large glass wall see through when lights on. Uncomfortable bed.
