I have had two nights recently, the first in December the other in January.
The hotel is approx 25 minutes via bus from the airport, it's in the middle of knowhere, there is a small convenience store about 5 minutes walk away. Reception was nice, I was traveling with my family, 2 adults, a 3 year old and a baby, the room we were given was supposed to be a family room, two single beds and a rollaway, the baby slept with his mum. The standard room is very small, I was expecting to get an upgrade as I'm Gold Elite, this didn't happen.
The hotel has a good gym and pool area, although as it was winter only the indoor poor was in use. The breakfast was excellent, one of the best hotel breakfasts I have in a while, they do excellent omlets. we didn't eat diner in the resturant so I can't comment however room service is fast and the food ok. The sports bar is lively and there is a childrens play room suitable for uder 5's.
On the return trip I asked for an upgrade and received it, this room was great much bigger than the so called family room, although I had to pay extra for the rollaway bed. In this room the bathroom was almost fullsized.
The hotel is also the crew hotel for Delta, on both stays there was a long wait at reception before being checked in and out. Not good when travelling with children.
