the hotel offers a shuttle service directly to the airport which i found useful for my early morning flight. the room was spacious and included dark curtains, ensuring a restful night. i was also able to leave my car at the hotel while i was away, and the staff were very helpful in arranging that. the bedding felt clean and new.
the hotel's exterior looked somewhat neglected upon closer inspection during the day.
