convenient airport stay
short walkfood placesshower head
the hotel is right next to the terminal, a very short walk. i also found a grocery store and several food places within walking distance (really handy for quick bites!).
the shower head kept falling down and pointing at the wall. it made showering difficult and required constant readjustment (a minor but annoying issue).
Location

the hotel has direct access to the terminal, and it is only a few minutes walk. i did not experience any disturbing noise at all. this made getting to my early flight stress-free.
Facilities

the hotel features a restaurant upstairs with great views. the staff were very helpful with luggage. i found the robot room service to be a very nice and modern addition.

The shower was not good, temperature wise. it was difficult to get a reliably hot shower. the shower holder also seemed defective as it would not raise to a higher position. i was charged for full parking costs despite using a loyalty card. Staff could not resolve this issue, and this was disappointing.

super convenient airport stay
short walkearly check-indiverse options
The hotel is close to the airport terminal. It's just a short walk. i managed to check in early, around 11 am, great after my long flight. the food was AMAZING!!! the breakfast options were diverse and fresh.
The frosted glass in the bathroom lacked a bit of privacy. It felt somewhat odd.
Location

the hotel is conveniently located only a short distance from the airport terminal. this proximity eliminates the need for long transfers.
Service

the staff provided prompt luggage assistance upon arrival. i received a trolley for my suitcases in under three minutes. 24 hour check-in was great because my flight arrived late at night.

the restaurant provided next-level service and attracted many people from the city. happy hour takes place from 4 to 6 pm. i think the food at the bar tasted good for standard bar offerings.

the proximity to the terminal proved useful for my early departure.
The room service options were quite limited and not very appealing. also, i found dark stains on some of the bathroom towels, off-putting. the furniture felt uncomfortable. It wasn't a very relaxing space.
