Excellent stay for the price! Very clean, comfortable, modern, great shower, great food, cold beer and in close proximity to the airport. My only concern was parking behind the facility being open to the public and didn't seem very secure for car to be left all night. I will definitely be returning!

I liked the location as it was close to the airport, however it is also close to the train station, trams and main roads and the noise from all of these can be annoying.
