“The convenient location near Terminal 3, coupled with a complimentary shuttle, makes this a practical choice for airport stopovers. While soundproofing could be improved, the helpful staff and comfortable rooms offer decent value. I especially appreciate the rooftop gym with its city views and the inclusive breakfast.”
