"We have stayed here many times. It is always clean, comfortable and access to the international terminal is excellent. Twice in our stays one of our family has left something valuable behind in the room but when enquiring (within 24 hours) on having it returned, we have been told nothing has been handed in so that is where the hotel process seems to stop. A bit more effort on this would be good."
