The proximity to the airport was convenient. The bar staff provided plenty of ice. I appreciated this after my campervan trip. The room size was adequate. The bedding was comfortable.
Breakfast options were boring. The juice was lukewarm, and the bread was not very appealing. I expected a better selection! The hotel had limited climate control and a tiny window.
