“The comfort of the beds here is a definite highlight, complemented by blackout curtains for a truly restful night. Its proximity to the airport simplifies travel plans, and the thoughtfulness extends to details like afternoon cookies and a water bottle filler. While the breakfast could benefit from a quality uplift, the attentive staff and clean, quiet rooms make it a reliable option.”
