restful sleephot waterbreakfast choices
The bed offered restful sleep. I found hot water readily available in the shower. The breakfast buffet included various choices, from fruits to pastries. I also appreciated the short indoor walk to the terminals.
The air conditioner made some noise during the night.

a mixed experience NEAR the airport

slow servicerestaurant staff
The restaurant was REALLY slow. I waited ages for my food even though it wasn't busy. There seemed to be plenty of staff though the table service inside and by the pool should be better. I think next time I might just grab some takeaways from the terminal.
