Decent Stay near the Airport

clean room working shower breakfast selection late check-in uncomfortable pillow warm room

The location was very convenient for my early flight. The walk to the airport took only about ten minutes. My room was clean and the shower worked very well. The breakfast had a good selection of items.

I was told check-in was from 3.00pm. My room was not ready until 5.20pm. This made me rush before my concert at bp pulse arena. The pillows were also uncomfortable and the room was too warm.
