We had a great stay - the airport shuttle was efficient, the location excellent for getting to and from the airport. The room was clean and it had a nice view (we were on the 7th floor). The only thing I’d say is please consider having more options for coeliacs - there were no gluten free bread options at the buffet or room service that catered to gluten free, so that would be a great place to start :)
