Perfect Spot Near the Airport!

great proximityearly flightmany optionshot water
I appreciated the proximity to the airport, it made catching my early flight so much easier. The breakfast had many options and fuelled me up for my travels. The room was clean and fresh towels arrived each day of the week. The shower had great pressure and provided plenty of hot water.
The pillows felt quite firm to me, it is a personal preference.

The location is excellent for airport access. I appreciated the helpful staff. The rooms are close to the terminal. The coffee and tea station on the first floor was useful.
The carpet in the communal areas showed some wear and could have been cleaner.
