Convenient Airport Proximity

airport proximityfriendly staffconvenient location

The hotel is very close to the airport! The bus stop is nearby, so getting to the airport was easy. I found the staff friendly and helpful . I also liked that there was a takeout place and a garage next door.

The shower was quite small. Getting in and out was difficult because one sliding door was stiff.

Dining

9/10

A takeout restaurant sits conveniently next to the hotel, and it offers an easy option for meals. This includes quick service and a selection of choices, great for a fast bite. I did not need to go far for food.
