No frills, affordable option, only a short walk from the airport. Can be difficult for first timers as the hotel is behind the McDonalds and overpass, however there is signage that leads the way. Regular amenities, towels provided, but must be aware that the shower steam can set off their smoke alarms, there are warnings about this on the shower door, must be kept closed and I would recommend letting the steam dissipate before opening. Unfortunately one of the nights I stayed someone had set off the fire alarm at 5:30am, which meant I stood out in the cold for 20minutes and couldn’t get back to sleep.

Room was clean as pictured and staff friendly. Only problem was there is no elevator (lift) to other floors and I was travelling with elderly parent with mobility access issues. If travelling alone I would come back as it was very clean and staff helpful. If travelling with elderly parent I would chose different hotel that can meet access needs.
