We were expecting the worst when we had to book here last minute and read the reviews- all I can think is most people are there for cancelled flights and must already be in a bad mood?! …

We stayed here prior to getting an early morning flight. The receptionist was very friendly but the hotel itself leaves a lot to be desired and the decor gives it a rather intimidating feel. …

Parking is shocking, cars and vans everywhere blocking entrances. Just tarmac it and paint proper lines instead of a free for all by the gym.
