"My first stay here lasted several days, but my most recent was about 12 hours — a waste of a wonderful place except for the sheer comfort, the perfect location, and the right little jazz trio in the lounge that I managed to catch a few minutes of. Although it’s got nothing to do with the amenities, I like very much that the airport bus stop is literally at their back door."
