Very good option, they came at midnight to pick us up from the airport, and was extremely great service late at night. Had a great rest before heading off next day. The restaurant offered great food for breakfast

The room interiors were a bit outdated but they were clean and warm. The staff were amazing and couldn’t have been more helpful. Special mention of the transit bus drivers who were very friendly and accommodating!

Good sized rooms, good facilities including adequate kitchen, convenient to airport and that side of the city, easy to drive effectively directly into the central city without the need for a map or device. The daily price was very reasonable. We will willingly go back there to stay.
