The hotel boasts a very short walk to the airport! The rooms are clean. I found the staff friendly.
Hallway lights shone under the door at night! This lit up the room! Perhaps they could dim them.

The proximity to the airport was acceptable.
The room felt small and cramped. THERE was hardly any space to move around the bed. I also found the placement of the wash basin right next to the bed rather odd. NO water was served in the room. It had to be purchased.

Convenient Airport Stay!

I found the hotel's proximity to the airport convenient. It made catching my early flight much easier. The staff gave clear instructions for the short walk from the terminal. I appreciated not needing a shuttle. The bed was very comfortable!
There was no elevator in the building, and I had to carry my luggage up the stairs. This was difficult with heavy bags.
