Great location with easy access to the airport. The property offers airport shuttle service for a fee. Also a lovely restaurant & bar with delicious dinner options in a cozy setting. Breakfast available for a modest fee so that’s a plus especially if you’re catching an early morning flight. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Staff was welcoming and very competent.
Surrounding area is not touristy, limited--but very adequate--dining options.
The airport shuttle was dead on time, fast & efficient.

We chose this hotel because we had an early morning flight and wanted to be close to the airport. Please make sure you read the info for check in and entry into the hotel prior to arrival. It is a little complicated and best done with internet access. The location is ideal for the airport and the lobby area is appealing. The rooms are small and efficient, no extras but a great place to sleep if you want to be close to the airport. We found a great restaurant a block from the hotel that was a surprise. Also, it was nice to be able to have a drink in the lobby of the hotel.
