The hotel was conveniently located to the airport, which was a plus since we had an early morning flight. There was parking, which was nice. The rooms could use a little bit of updating but overall a very nice hotel
Perfect airport hotel. 5 minutes from the airport and very clean hotel. Safe area. Nice staff. We left before breakfast started but the facility looked nice. If you need to be near the airport, this is a great choice

Lovely hotel
Very nice hotel and a 30 minute walk from the airport.
Good room, very spacious .
Good enough breakfast , less choice for me as a vegan but still managed okay with fresh fruit and bread .
Hot water was supplied freely as no kettle in the room.
Good pool area.
I would stay here again.
We stayed for one nigh to catch an early flight in the morning. Great hotel and breakfast. The room had a smell like humid/mildew we didnt complain since it was for one night only.
Our stay was great! The staff was so nice and the place was clean. The shower head was slightly malfunctioning, but we were only staying a night so it was fine.
Great value for money hotel. Good breakfast with quite a few options, and comfy bed. Hotel seems a little bit dated and cleaning could be improved. However, would stay again if catching early flight or arriving late as it’s only 5 mins from the airport.
Great for an overnight stay, especially if you have a late arriving plane or an early morning departure as it’s so close to the airport
Nice pool, amthough we didn’t have time to use it.
Room was huge and very clean, pity the A/C didn’t work properly, but overall would use again.

Good price near airport. Air condition did not turn on and could not keep window open due to street noise at night. Clean room
Lovely refreshing pool! Lovely location minutes from town and close to airport for the next morning. Stayed 1 night only.
Air con was great but found it noisy to leave on overnight. Will return.
