Will be back again!

Shuttle was efficient and punctual. Compliments to the receptionist Mary who made 2 wake up calls to us. When we did not respond, she personally knocked on our door to ensure we woke up at 4am for our morning flight. The driver of the shuttle was Alex who came punctually and peppered our short trip with humour that was a cheerful way to start the day. Do remember to book your seat with the receptionist for the shuttle to the airport cos it gets quite full.

Easy access from underground parking right up to my floor was wonderful. I liked the size of the hotel -- not too big. Thanks for the short but appreciated stay.
