Nice hotel, but probably still won't use it again.

Very friendly staff, clean room, small bathroom but okay. Even though it is right next to the airport, an Uber or shuttle is a must, too far to walk since you gp around the airport, which is rather stupid. Otherwise it would be perfectly walkable. Not something the hotel can do much about, that's an airport thing, but the shuttle is overly complicated, need to pre-book when going from the hotel back to the airport, etc. Downsides: no toilets in the lobby/restaurant area, which sucks when you have to check out early and want to just sit there with a coffee to wait until leaving for the airport, late check in and very early check out time (10AM, really?). They make you join the stupid rewards program to check in early or check out late. Stuff like that ticks me off. Will likely not stay there again, even though it's otherwise a reasonably nice hotel.

Stayed here for the price and really appreciated the robust breakfast. Seemed very busy, but our floor was quiet thankfully. Rooms are small for four people, and we didn’t care for the transparent bathroom doors. We also kept finding small gnats in our shower and the AC would make very squeaky noises sometimes. Other than that, a good hotel very close to the airport.
