Alexandre FrontAir Congress

Excellent hotel near the airport. Clean, everything was working, comfortable bed, helpful and friendly staff, very convenient shuttle to the airport. Would stay again.

Stayed for a one day layover. Very conveniently, the hotel is in the same strip as a HUGE "everything" store (think COSTCO meets IKEA without the membership fee) that was useful to grab things I forgot to pack as well as fun to wander for over an hour, marveling at all the foods available. There is a take away section, but no microwave in the room, just a mini-fridge, so I wasn't able to reheat anything. There are fast food options in the mall food court. Back to the hotel - front desk staff speak English, they will securely store luggage if you arrive before check-in (as I did). The room was clean and comfortable. There is a bar/lounge with indoor and outdoor seating on the second floor. Breakfast was included with my stay, it was a never-ending buffet of everything you could think of! Even a chocolate fountain! The one thing I was disappointed about is the pool. It is part of the Spa business unit, and as such, you need to pay 12 euro to access it. I was looking forward to a dip on the hot afternoon, but didn't feel like paying an additional fee. The free shuttle to/from the airport was one of the main reasons I booked here, the directions to the pickup area sent to me with my reservation confirmation were very clear, the buses run hourly. When checking in, you need to set up your time slot for the return trip if you are using it. This is a suburban airport hotel, there isn't much else beyond the immediate shopping area to walk to, but it served my needs perfectly.

The bus driver to the airport at 5:30 was rude and was driving 71 km on the 30km zone. He dropped me very far from the main door of Terminal 2. This guy should be fired. He was yelling at all passengers in Spanish that nond understood what is his problem. Two very young Chinese students dud not understand when we arrived to terminal 1 that this was it. So when he closed the back door and cand back to his seats they told him they want to get up. He started yelling and he refused to let them get up and drive about 100 m then he let them get up also far from the main door of the terminal. If he does not like his job then either HD should quit or be fired. This incident happened on July 11 at 5:30 am. I had the GPS on and k took screenshots that show his fast was he driving .myself and two other passengers tried to talk to him to slow down but he would not listen and respond yelling at us in Spanish.

Great place, pick up from the airport, late evening buffet dinner available. Breakfast box for take out due to early morning flight. Would stay again
