Rooms are typically comfortable with good beds, Wi-Fi, work desks and blackout curtains, and Business class rooms add extra space and lounge or breakfast benefits. A gym is available for guests, and the airport walkway is a headline amenity that sets the hotel apart from others in the area.

Early breakfast service is useful for travellers on morning flights, and the restaurant offers a menu with international and British dishes. The bar is a convenient place to wait for delayed flights or to meet colleagues.
The service character is efficient and business oriented, with staff used to handling guests on tight schedules, late check-ins and transfers.
