I found the free shuttle service to the airport helpful. The service runs frequently. Breakfast offered many options and a lot of seating. The rental car company operates right next door, simplifying my car return.

The hotel stated it had air conditioning, yet temperature control seemed central. It did not activate until the room reached a high temperature. I found this problematic.
