Clean and functional - bed was very comfortable and there was an extra blanket if required. Room was spacious enough, tiny bathroom but this was fine for one night. Great budget accommodation if you need to stay close to the airport

The room was very clean but spartan. We just needed a place to sleep before our early morning flight and this place fit the bill perfectly. We walked from the hotel to the airport bag drop in 18 minutes

Convenient location to airport, quick 5 min walk. Have stayed here many times. Ticks all the boxes when you have early flights. Clean, comfy, good aircon, no lift for those who may have issues lugging bags up stairs but the young man at reception offered to take my bags to my room.
