    Location to the airport and free shuttle for some of our group who were leaving at 3:00 AM, large lounge, restaurant on site with a nice menu and the massive spare ribs meal. Provided free desert for the children. Free Parking.

    Made a short night stay as we had early morning flight. The location is great, less than 5 minutes drive to the airport. Hotel room for 4 guests is huge, however room is a bit old fashioned and worn out. Not very spotless clean.

    We booked this hotel for the free airport shuttle. The 3 bedroom unit is fully equipped for cooking although we stayed only to be near airport for morning flight.
