Pros

Weekly housekeeping service for stays of 7+ nights

Free guest laundry facilities with 24-hour access

Lending Locker service for borrowing household items

On-site convenience store open 24/7

Cons

18.5 miles distance from airport

Limited dining options within immediate walking distance

“While the location is convenient and the atmosphere promises a quiet stay, reports of billing discrepancies raise concerns about reliability. The purported incidents, if true, overshadow the initial appeal. I would advise caution and diligent monitoring of expenses for anyone considering a stay.”
