Good value and within walking distance of airport
Overnight airport stay, clean, efficient, decent food. The only negative the room was a bit too warm for us. Aircon was on full and a fan. Apart from that very good and in walking distance of airport.

Stayed here a number of times and cannot fault the hotel. A warm welcome, easy check in, and early access to our room.
Hotel is within walking distance of the airport terminal, and breakfast was all you could ask for.
I would highly recommend this hotel.
