Met my needs well.

This hotel was perfect for my very short one night stay. It was very close to the airport and quite comfortable. I left too early to have breakfast so I am unable to review that.

Staff is great - it's just the silly policies. Still using Covid as an excuse 5 years later, they do not clean or make up your room.
