Everything but the wifi
Everything was good except the wifi didn’t reach our room. Not enough signal for basic search functions. The only place it worked was the bathroom.

Great dining options and a friendly staff. Hotel is in need of attention, from my phone line not working to a sink that wouldn’t drain. A little preventive maintenance goes a long way.

This hotel has 24 hour shuttle to the airport, which is the main attraction for us, who arrive late to the airport. The breakfast is amazing. The staff is good as well. The only downside is the bed. It only has a thin sheet to cover. The bed blanket is in the closet and is very dirty with some stinks. Overall, if you are just going there to catch up an airplanes, it is a great choice. I would rate this hotel a 4.5

Perfect for basic overnight at the airport, shuttle service is excellent and runs 24 hours and takes no more than 15 minutes to and from airport. Restaurant closes at 3pm and then open again at 7 pm ... for an airport hotel they should offer either a room service or longer restaurant hours. hotel is clean, room soundproof and bed comfortable.

Convenient Location, Good Staff
The hotel is located conveniently 5 minutes from the airport, with a free shuttle that runs every 20 minutes to the airport. The staff are friendly and courteous. Also, the beds are very comfortable in the hotel room. The breakfast is tasty, and again, the staff were very kind. If I had one point of feedback, I would say the rooms need some very minor updates. A little paint and some plaster would spruce up the rooms. Otherwise, all was great at the hotel.

The hotel is convenient for GIG airport, that's the positive! I arrived early, but asked for an early check in if possible. The young lad serving me asked me to wait a few minutes. After 1.5 hours another staff member explained a room was available all along, but the first lad had simply forgot about me! The room was then basic and needed renovation for wear and tear. The other staff were very good.
