okay for a quick stop

helpful staff delicous food unfriendly welcome run 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.

Convenient Airport Proximity

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.

SUPER Convenient Airport Proximity!

early shuttle easy access ample parking

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 hotel's location offered QUITE convenient access to the airport. This accessibility proved invaluable for catching early morning flights, and I didn't have to stress over commute times. I found that FANTASTIC.

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.
