- Who it suits
- Families and longer stays that need more room than an airport tower provides.
- Why we would choose it
- Interconnecting family suites that sleep four, and children listed as staying free.
- The compromise
- It is not a walk. You depend on a shuttle you must request, and some rooms look onto the car park.
- Worth paying more?
- Over ibis Budget for a family, usually yes. For a dawn flight, stay closer.
