Many customers appreciate its convenience and location, with covered parking just outside the terminal, making it ideal for quick drop-offs and pickups. Reviewers also value the safety of their vehicles and the accessible features for those with disabilities, noting that the parking process is generally swift, especially with online bookings.

Users report issues with the size of the parking bays, leading to potential vehicle damage, and some experience long queues at payment machines, suggesting the need for a more efficient process. Additionally, a lack of clear signage can complicate navigation for first-time visitors, and traffic congestion in the drop-off zone has been noted as a drawback.
