Acceptable Stay Near the Airport

surface dustweak shower
The cleanliness left something to be desired. I noticed a layer of dust on most surfaces. the shower pressure was practically nonexistent. It barely trickled out. I was hoping for a more refreshing shower before my flight but that didn't happen.

Fantastic Stay Close to the Airport!

clean roomfirm bedgood irontea facilities
i really appreciated the super clean, well-equipped room. It had everything i needed. The bed was firm with nice linens. I found a good iron with an ironing board. Tea making facilities were available too. The clever use of space in the bathroom was very nice. The shower delivered hot water with good pressure.
The only little thing was the Wi-Fi was sometimes a little slow during peak hours. Otherwise, everything was perfect.

I arrived very late. The staff provided prompt check-in. I slept well in the comfortable room, equipped with all necessary amenities. The breakfast offered many options, including gluten-free choices, a treat. I found shuttle service to the airport efficient, running every half-hour.
I noticed the air conditioning unit made slightly loud noises during operation.

i stayed before because of early flights. the hotel provided essential items. the room was nice and neat for a stop-over. beds are very comfortable and i found the room quiet.
the parking process can be improved. i did not see visible signs inside about car registration. not informing guests may seem like agreement with predatory practices.
