This hotel was just right for an overnight stay between flights. Free transfers from the airport were efficient and the room was sleek. Shame that no breakfast was available.

Hotel could arrange complementary airport transfer both ways even late evening (after midnight) and early morning (at 03:00 am). It was very convenient for me to move.

The accommodation is basic but all the basic items are provided eg. hairdryer, iron etc, It is also clean. They also provide one pickup and one drop off at the airport for guests. This is especially useful if you arrive on a late flight. The hotel is also only about a 10 minute ride from the airport.

The room was very clean and spacious. We stayed for a layover only. The floor is outdated, but everything was clean. You could hear other people in other rooms. A large shopping/dining complex is at the hotel.

Noises heard at wee hours

I'm a frequent guest to this hotel and always book a non smoking room on the third floor. But since my last two stay, noises heard at wee hours in the morning that kept me and my family awake till morning. Noises ( thud.. thud.. thud) like people are working on something and it's very irritating.

We chose Eminent because our flight arrived very late and they are close to the airport and included the promised service of meeting us and driving us there. However the driver was very late coming and we were left standing there with their phone number that would not connect. After travelling for 24hrs it was the “last straw”! Eventually a driver came and all was well.
