When we arrived at the hotel, the room was not ready. The front desk were friendly and they upgraded the room and gave us complimentary wine to make up for the trouble.

In addition, TV remote was not working and we were told that engineering would not be back until the morning. Only engineering has batteries?

Our first impressions on the hotel were ""what a great hotel, so close to the airport"" However, there was a party in the hotel's dining area which lastet until 1100pm, and the music was too loud. The dinners and service is excellent and there are plenty of day trips that you can schedule, the 4-in-1 is a long but enjoyable trip.
