Room 830

Check In
Check in was quick, although they could not find my booking to start with. Not sure what happened as I had check-in already through the app but the girl was insistent I did not have a booking. Once she looked again it was found and I was quickly on my way with 2 small water bottles handed to me for being a Hilton Honours Memeber!
Room
The room was very dated but reasonably comfortable. The bed was fine and the bathroom had a very powerful shower - probably the best part of the while stay! The worst was the really noisy air conditioning unit in the room which come on and off and meant I got zero sleep throughout the whole night. It was quick shocking how loud this thing was! Unfortunately I couldn't turn it off as it was quite muggy - although it may have been preferable to getting no sleep!
Service
All fine - nothing outstanding but nothing bad.
Dining
I did not eat in the restaurant but went to the Executive Lounge. Do not plan to eat here - the nibbles were very poor quality, slightly stale and luke warm! Very unappetising!
The drinks were fine - free flowing and the chap was constantly coming round to refill - lots of soft drinks available and beer for what I could see. I think the drinks ended at 9pm but I did not stay that long.
The lounge had an nice view but that was about all that was going for it!
Location
The hotel is pretty close to the airport - a short bus ride away. I had to wait quite a while for the bus though and in the end I think someone called.
In the morning the bus goes every half hour so not ideal but just time it and you will be fine. The bus drops off at the different terminals but picks up at one place so keep an eye out for the signs when you land!
Overall
The outdated rooms and the noisy air conditioning means that I will not be staying here again. However it is handy for the airport.
