So convenient to stay prior to an early flight. Rooms nice, well appointed. One small gripe is some room ammenities such as body lotion, make up remover wipes etc would have been useful. Shower essentials were supplied. Overall a great stay.

Nice modern facility with good room sizes and nice settings. Dinner was a little on the expensive side as i got 2 small pieces of chicken with my main portion.....certainly nothing close to a full breast of chicken.

Conveniently located, quick access to car rental car park and short walk to terminal. The room was nice and the bed comfortable. However, communication was terrible. I emailed Novatel twice with enquiries and received no response. The check in process was quick, but the lady serving us was not very happy or welcoming! When I arrived in the room it said welcome Mr.... , the problem is that I'm a Ms so this was offensive to me!
