"The pool hours were ridiculous. Opening at 10 am when the whole point for those with early, long flights is to have a nice relaxing swim beforehand. The pool is always unattended and was ready to use at 7 am so it is hard to see why it could not be open then or even earlier. Otherwise, the hotel food and coffee were great and the staff mostly efficient and helpful."
