Be mindful of the car park charges if you have guest visiting! The reception will sort it out for you, but just don’t forget!(Steve H)

Be aware you cannot eat in the actual bar communal area. You have no option but to use the restaurant. Cannot eat in the bar anymore. (stevedavidson63)

"Great hotel, with great staff in a great location!"

2026-01-11

A great hotel, conveniently located whether visiting for the airport or to sightsee with family. From the get go the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Our rooms were well appointed and clean. The atmosphere in the lounge and bar was inviting. The dining areas was airy and tables well spaced. And the breakfast was amazing! A thank you to everyone, but big shout out to Tanya and Georgia, who really made us feel welcome, helping us celebrate our daughter’s 30th birthday!

Very happy with size and layout of the room. Pool and gym excellent and had super pizza in bar (little expensive…). I’ll be back!

The staff are very warm and professional The suite is very clean and allow for privacy even between couple Although I live less than 10 miles away, the hotel location is very good, most especially if you are flying out

"Very Pleasant stay at EMA."

2025-12-22

Really pleasant stay we booked an early check in at a small cost and that worked really well for us. The bar snack we had for our lunch was very tasty and sensible portion. The room had all the mod cons you learn to expect with very comfortable bed ample pillows delivered as requested. My only complaint very small found the shower above your head a little low on pressure but it did have hot water and did serve a purpose you do have an option to use a hand held shower which I should have used in hindsight. Would definitely use again in the future and credit to house keeping have to say the entire hotel was cleaned to a very high standard unlike so other hotels I have visited this year. Breakfast great choice to suit everyone’s taste served from 6:30 on weekdays. This hotel chain has good standards and long may that continue.
