Great check-in, staff were fantastic. Dinner was ordered at the eating area. It was slow and came out cold. In the morning staff was not friendly and the shuttle driver to the airport was very verbally abusive towards me. I advised staff and they did not care. I ended up catching a taxi to the airport. Would not recommend.
