Despite being an airport hotel, it is not that easy to walk to the hotel especially if you are landing on the International terminal. A hotel shuttle of $12 per person is a bit too expensive especially if you have a large group. It is also a bit far from the train station. Otherwise the hotel itself is fine. The laundry facility is convenient.

Average, have more to say but not enough room.

Upon entering the building it was a bit confusing. The ground floor was neat and tidy but was strange to have to take an elevator to the first floor for reception. First floor was neat and tidy. Receptionist was kind helpful except i wasnt told i had to tap the room card to get to my floor so i felt a bit stupid in front of locals that knew that you had to do this. Embarrassing.... since no hotel in america uses this practice. I asked for a room up high and reception was accommodating. Thank you for that. My room was spacious, clean, bright. Nice touch using real coffee mugs thank you. Was disapointed in the channel selection on the tv. My netflix and hulu did not work so i had a tech come up. He found the hdmi cord was not pluged in. When we were able to access at lease hulu he left. When i tried to select a movie it would not work as my american shows and movies were not playable in austraila. All hotels should offer more access to free movies, news and weather as well as local tv shows. All that was offered at your hotel was some local news sports and aged tv shows. Boring. The meal choices from your restaurant were ok but it needed more choices to accommodate those from other countrys. I personally had diet restrictions that your restaurant did not offer although yoyr breakfast was exceptional other than your fresh fruit . It was out of season and bland and not ripe enough. Should offer more seasonal types of fresh fruits as well as more choices. No room 4 more to say.:(

Very poor experience with shuttle: I and 2 others were exactly on time at the shuttle after a delay in checking out. It was exiting the parking lot when we got to the ground floor so left early. Evening meal ok and not realistic to go elsewhere: service was fine,
