The room had a very large window offering a nice view. location was excellent. I found it quite accessible from the airport using the bus service. the breakfast option was quick and efficient, which i appreciated as it allowed me to start my day promptly.
During my visit, there was limited parking available. Only four cars could be accommodated, which might present a challenge during peak times.
