Basic hotel but great position for the airport. Good food and bar at a good price. Caution that the shuttle bus is £4 each and their carpark charges are £14 for the first night and £17 for the days after, bus is every 30 mins. If your going for a week then the airport carpark may be cheaper.

Arrived late for one night stay before very early flight. Friendly staff. Room was clean but very basic and uncomfortable. Family room advised with two double beds (one being sofa bed),. Sofa bed was awful and not fit for purpose- not a double and could feel the sharp springs - unfit for sleeping on. Early brea

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff and amenities were 4* however there were a few disappointments....the sofa bed was made up so we had to fold this back to a sofa to have more room space as there was only 2 of us. The pillows were uncomfy.The smoke alarm was in my eyeline while trying to sleep and flashing constantly. I don't sleep well anyway so a poor night before our travels. I appreciate this is for our safety but does it have to flash as many don't. Also there was no lime codial on the bar for my lager and lime so a small slice of fresh lime to added which made no difference. The bar and dining area lacked character or personality. The shuttle bus was perfectly on time and the check in staff very professional. Overall we were happy with our stay and hope our observations helpful .
