“I see a practical airport hotel that understands the needs of early travelers, with breakfast starting at 4 a.m. and a half-hourly shuttle to Stansted. Though near the airport, soundproofed rooms promise a quiet stay, while meeting spaces cater to business needs. The on-site restaurant's rotisserie and varied menu strike me as a solid option for those not wanting to venture far.”
