  • Excellent location in city center, ~20 mins from airport, rich dining and shopping nearby.
  • Poor soundproofing with corridor noise; small bathroom with awkward door design.
  • Basic breakfast with slow replenishment during peak seasons, lower standard than domestic IHG.
  • High premiums during holidays reduce value; best for off-peak transit or short stays.
