Nice place to stay if you are looking for a spot close to airport. Breakfast at 630 so if you have an early flight it won’t be available. No hot food at breakfast. No shuttle service. Would stay again if an overnight stay is required for connecting flight

The large grassy area in the front of hotel makes for a perfect and welcoming entrance. It is set back from the Prince of Wales road, which makes it very quiet. Thanks for the great stay.
