No shuttle bus and no one answers phone
Never answered phone number they provided to call shuttle bus on arrival at airport - I rang repeatedly and tried different numbers - no answer. I was left stranded at airport feeling unwell and unable to get to hotel. Dreadful customer service!!

A bed for the night in a soulless hotel, though on plus side, super convenient to the airport.
Check-In experience poor - self-serve machines not working (get most of way through process then failed at last step, frustrating). Long, slow queues.
Food expensive.
