Fantastic Stay!

amazing pressureconvenient locationbright roomsmaller room
The location was perfect. It's super close to the airport, so convenient! The room was so bright and clean! I really loved having parking right outside the building. WiFi worked great and the shower had hot water with amazing pressure, how cool is that?
The room was on the smaller side. If I had stayed longer, it might have been an issue.

A Fantastic Getaway

great locationsimple travellidl supermarketfree coffee
The location was great for airport access. The bus stops nearby made travelling simple. There was a lidl supermarket very close. I appreciated the free coffee, and breakfast items provided.
The room was quite small, and organizing our luggage required some creativity!
Dining

A coffee table was available. This was a nice touch. CEREALS and milk were available for breakfast. These small details, especially for a quick morning meal before heading out.
