Adequate Stay Near the Airport

efficient processhelpful staffcoffee facilitiesnoticeable noiseempty dispenserlimited selection
I found the check-in process efficient. The staff member was helpful. My room was on a higher floor. It was adequately sized. I appreciated the tea and coffee facilities provided in the room. I utilized the nearby bus service, it provided easy access to both the airport and the city center.
The hotel's proximity to the highway resulted in noticeable traffic noise. The body wash dispenser in my bathroom was empty. I was also disappointed with the limited selection of fresh items available during breakfast. There were few vegetables and limited cold cuts.

the room was very clean and spacious. i found the bed quite comfortable for a good night's sleep (i really needed it!). the hotel offered a complimentary continental breakfast starting early, helpful for my early flight. i also appreciated the availability of free hot drinks at any time.
the location requires a taxi to reach the airport, since walking is not an option.
