Great Spot Inside the Terminal!

perfect location clean bathroom coffee station
The location was perfect. I walked straight from my flight to my room. The functional bathroom was quite nice and very clean. There was a tea and coffee station just down the hall for easy access.
I found the signage to be confusing when I arrived. I had to ask for directions.
