The front reception desk is not accessible unless you are 6 foot tall but they did manage by coming around to serve us. There were 2 huge double beds in the room and they were very comfortable. The wet area bathroom was a bit of an after thought so the room has a bath with a shower over it as well as the floor has been fitted with a drain and a wall mounted sliding shower head, a glass splash guard is fitted to the wall and can be pulled out when needed. There is no shower seat on the wall or stool in the rooms and it would be fairly tight if one was placed in there given the lay out of the room. There is a restaurant on site but the best thing is you are situated right in the centre of town which make nipping to the shops or eating out a breeze giving you lots of options. The conference rooms are well thought out and make it very accessible as the main room divides into many break-out rooms as well as having the other smaller rooms on the same floor, which is so good to keep to conference schedules and to limit possibility of people getting lost on the way to the next workshop. The distance from the airport to the central city is approximately 20 minutes, 10km.  |
