Airport Way is practically on the runway. You can see planes taxi from the windows, but you cannot hear them. That’s a flex, honestly. The shuttle bus runs every fifteen minutes, free, and drops you right at the terminal doors. If you’re driving, the car park is massive and secure. For a layover or an early flight, you’re basically cheating the system—sleep until the last minute, then roll to your gate.
But here’s the secret: it’s also good for non-airport reasons. The hotel connects to a small retail park. There’s a supermarket, a fast-food joint, and a pub nearby. You can grab a snack without paying airport prices. Which is a minor miracle.
The food: better than it has any right to be
I’m a sceptic about hotel breakfast buffets—they’re often a sad parade of congealed eggs and rubbery bacon. Not here. The hot food was actually hot. The pastries were fresh. They even had a waffle maker, which I interpreted as a sign from the universe to indulge. Dinner in the restaurant? I had the grilled chicken salad. It came with a proper vinaigrette, not watery dressing. I almost clapped.

Room service is available, but honestly? The lounge is nicer. Sit by the fireplace, eat your burger, and pretend you’re a glamorous traveler who chose to be delayed.
