The apartment upgrade gave us more room. Kitchen facilities was superb. The location allowed easy walks everywhere. This was great. We stored luggage in lockers after check-out, prior to our flight.
The soundproofing wasn't great. I could hear doors slamming in other apartments throughout the night. This impacted my sleep.

The staff showed genuine warmth. I found the car park large, clean, and easy to use. The friendly and helpful staff pleased me. The reception is manned all day and night.
The layout felt odd and inconvenient. Doors were heavy. I had to prop open the doors to not feel claustrophobic. There were no luggage stands? The shower design caused a water puddle and mold.
