Great choice for airport stay.
"Large room, comfortable bed, good lighting. Evening buffet is excellent as is breakfast. Nice little outdoor pool. Hotel has a nice ambience. In places a little tired and dated, especially the bathroom. Was good value, and proximity to airport and free shuttle make it an excellent choice."
