Airport hotels aren't normally in the thick of things, so unsurprisingly, one of the main complaints here was that there were no activities or attractions nearby. For some, the industrial location of this property was uninspiring.

The in-room TVs were a bit small for some, with a number of guests straining to comfortably see their screens.
