Perfect place to stay at if your flight is cancelled.
You are literally in North Terminal. The rooms are very standard american influenced type of rooms. Nothing fancy to expect on that front, but the beds are comfortable and the room is clean. The bathroom is pretty much what you'd expect in this kind of hotel too. Friendly welcome and nice staff.

The bar closes at 00:30 and you can only pay if you've left a tab open when you check in. No cash, no credit cards accepted at the bar after midnight. The TV is so large that it hide the only power outlet you can use on the desk no power outlets near the beds heads (as in all these kinds of hotels)
The operations at the desk took forever that evening, even if I'd done most of the work by booking online. Aim for the Accor lane if you're a member, it's a bit faster. Use the express checkout box to drop your room keys.
