Hi,
Just finished breakfast and watching some 27l action.
agree with comments above
Very easy from t2 and digital key worked.
Good room with good a/c but takea a little bit of getting used to
No body lotion
No glasses ( used a coffee mug)
Shower water pressure is on the low side of adequate compared to my usual .
No enclosed drawers
asked for bottles of water from the lobby pantry which is cashless but can room charge
Some internal noise but the ac solved most of it.
Great views of gates 1 to 7 of t3.they were empty overnight but now there is
virgin Dreamliner
China eastern I think a340
qatar 777
Saw a singapore 777 and cathay a350 finish their landing roll at 0500 but now 27left is the active take off runway. Practically a front view of the aircraft rotating
Assisted breakfast was ok. Need to ask for coffee as the coffe machines are roped off. Juice is in cartons with straws.
First impression if the room was it looked like the Hampton dundee in the main design layout but a bit larger.
Bed was comfortable and the blackout curtains were good but there was some light from the ac control unit ( could not see an option to dim the brightness) and from the main light button by the door which seemed to radiate like led lights but had my eye shades so not a problem too much.
found the bathroom a little dark for shaving but otherwise ok. Sink is a bit small.
Going to try the gym shortly.
Gym only open till 8PM currently.website says 24hrs iirc.
With the digital key it gives 2 options
hallway by fitness centre
Fitness centre
And seemed to default to the hallway one which does not work. Took several attempts to get the fitness centre to display then worked fine.
Gym small but ok .one of the treadmills closed for social distancing. No cloth towels only paper towels.
Key advantage of the hotel is location and therefore likely to have a premium.
Several airline crew checking out when I left the gym
Regards
Tbs
Now starting to rain.hopefully we do not have 2 weeks of rain now.
