8.2/10 Very Good! (2,515 reviews)
Would have been 5 stars but the food was terrible & overpriced; we arrived in the evening very hungry & ordered 1 standard burger (£24.50) & 1 chicken burger (£22.50), tomato juice (£3.50) & a beer (£7.25) - for this we were expecting a half-decent meal - food arrived at our table very quickly, obviously not freshly made, dry & luke warm - simply aweful! We skipped breakfast! On the plus side the staff were great & the room was very nice Our tip: Take you own food or 5 minute walk into the terminal & get something from M&S!
