Charming Airport Hotel Experience
fresh basicshelpful staffair conditioning
The breakfast buffet had fresh basics that were regularly restocked.. Staff were pleasant and helpful throughout my visit. The room included blockout blinds for complete darkness, a plus for sleeping in late. The shower was also a great feature.
The air conditioning seemed centrally controlled, so I could not adjust the room temperature to my preference. It took a while to feel the effect in the room. During warmer months, this might.

The staff was helpful (especially during check-in). My room was a good size, a Standard King Room. Blackout blinds were present.
I found the air conditioning to be not fully functional. The lack of an openable window was a downside. The breakfast buffet felt a bit crowded, especially with individuals occupying larger tables.
