helpful staffdelicous foodunfriendly welcomerun down building

the taxi service to the airport worked good at early hours. the staff was helpful, a big plus. the restaurant next door offered room service, i found it really convenient. the food tasted delicous, a good surprise.

i notice the welcome was unfriendly. parking proved difficult since the hotel seemed to be running an airport shuttle. the whole building looked very run down, i think it needs a little care. the grounds looked scruffy too, it could be more inviting.

I found the hotel convenient, as it's located very close to the airport. A bus ride took only 5 minutes. The staff facilitated an early shuttle service to the airport for a reasonable fee. I appreciated the proximity to nearby restaurants and the availability of food at the adjacent fuel station. The hotel offered good value, especially considering it included a private bathroom.

The wallpaper in my room needed some attention, as it showed signs of peeling.

I found the hotel provided excellent early shuttle service to the airport. The cost was £10, AND the staff accommodated my chosen time! the hotel's closeness to the airport made it EASY to access. That was a HUGE plus. I was relieved to find ample parking available upon arrival.

The shower I encountered was quite small, and the sliding door felt stiff, making entry difficult!

the location was ideal, being very close to the airport. the staff were helpful, they arranged a taxi for me at 4 am so i could catch my flight.

the television reception was terrible. also, the noise from the nearby dual carriageway was significant, it made it difficult to sleep well with the window closed.
