freshly baked cookies pleasant staff continental breakfast cramped bathroom dusty units
the proximity to the airport IS great. i liked the continental breakfast that was available for early departures. freshly baked cookies were a nice welcome gift to the room! the staff were pleasant and cute.
the bathroom was also very cramped because of the door position. I also found DUST on the units and cups.

lovely lights comfortable bed bath products
I appreciated the bath products available in my room. The outside seating area included pretty lights from tree to tree (it looked gorgeous after sunset). I had a restful sleep in a lovely comfortable bed.
The food service stopped relatively early.

Charming Stay Before an Early Flight
simple check-in good room size ideal location
Check-in was simple. A staff member (very efficient) checked me in and also served my food. My room was a good size and clean. The location was ideal for an early flight from the airport.
The shower did not drain away properly. The floor got very wet. The bath taps were difficult to reach.

somewhat noisy stay
kitchen fans constant noise
the room was clean , and the bed proved quite comfortable.
i found the constant noise from the kitchen extractor fans , that ran all night , very irritating. our room seemed directly above them , so sleep was difficult. perhaps better sound insulation is needed.
