The hotel is very close to the airport terminal. It is literally a 5-minute walk. The breakfast service starts very early and that is a plus. I found the food great too.
The rooms are average and the beds are average too. There was no climate control. The window was TINY. I found the hotel very expensive for what it offered.

I found the walk to the airport terminal convenient. i was able to return the rental car right next to the hotel. It saved time. breakfast started early at 4:00 am. That worked well with my early flight. the rooms were clean.
I noticed that the soundproofing could have been better. I could hear some noise from other guests at night.
