I was very annoyed by a couple of things. first, the old tv in the room was a real disappointment. It felt outdated. secondly the windows were dirty i couldn't see out without looking at grime. It looked more like a motel room.

Adequate stay near the airport

airport proximity clean room helpful staff high price complicated transport dining service

The hotel is located very close to the airport. Reaching it was easy. The rooms were clean and tidy, with linen changed daily. The staff was helpful and friendly.

The prices were quite high for a four-star hotel. I found the same applied to the dining services. Reaching downtown using public transport seemed a bit complicated.
