    Conveniently located, comfortable room, good restaurant and lovely staff

    Thought it was expensive when compared to other hotels at the same price, however I stayed there three times this year anyway!

    The staff were very friendly and helpful. We got a free late check out. A staff member from the hotel walked us from the hotel to our terminal when we checked out. Room service was fast and great. Turn down service was also nice. I used the pool and gym. Both were good. Breakfast included a buffet and a la carte menu. There was a very wide selection of food choices. We also had lunch at the hotel's restaurant. The lunch menu had lots of options as well. Very convenient for a one-night layover. It's a 2-3 minute walk to the airport.

    There were volunteers at the airport, but they made us a little uncomfortable. We wanted to find our own way to the hotel after we got our luggage, but they were a little aggressive about showing you were to go and then wanting a tip. When we checked out, we opted to have someone from the hotel escort us to the airport (which we felt very safe doing).

We are also glad that the breakfast and lunch offerings met your expectations with their variety and quality. Your comments about the convenience of the hotel’s location and your safe and smooth escort to the terminal reflect exactly what we strive to offer comfort, service excellence, and peace of mind, especially for travellers in transit. We understand your concerns regarding the experience with volunteers at the airport and truly appreciate you sharing this. While this aspect is outside of the hotel’s control, we are pleased that our team was able to provide a solution that made you feel secure and cared for. As you rightly mentioned, customer service and quality are cornerstones of our guest experience. Your kind words serve as a wonderful affirmation of our efforts, and I will be sure to share your feedback with the team—they will be thrilled to know they made a difference.
