great locationdelicious breakfastcomfortable bed
the location next to terminal 4 made it easy to catch my early flight. the staff gave me a breakfast bag because i checked out before breakfast hours, i appreciated that so much! the bed and toiletries were good too.
i feel the room was slightly small for large suitcases.

the location was super practical for terminal access. the included breakfast offered a good range of options. i found the soundproofing to be quite effective in the room.
the room i received seemed to lack a proper vacuum. the sofa material felt somewhat worn out. the 'welcome' pillow showed a stain, which i did not like.

slow check-inuncomfortable bed
the check-in process proved slow there was a considerable wait due to limited staff at the desk this delay occurred despite the late hour of my arrival around 530pm furthermore the bed offered insufficient comfort its firmness detracted from restful sleep a more supportive mattress would greatly improve the overall experience .
