a cozy night near the airport

airport proximity efficient check-in quiet atmosphere accessible cafes

the hotel's proximity to the airport simplified my early morning departure. the receptionist was cute and efficient at check-in. the room offered a quiet atmosphere, shielding me from outside noise. i found several cafes nearby, easily accessible for a quick breakfast.

the carpet in my room showed some wear, though it was still acceptable for a short stay.

I noted its favorable location near the airport, a significant advantage for travelers with early flights. This allows for a less stressful journey. it took about 12 minutes to terminals one through three. few dining options existed nearby.

nonexistent ac old rug

The alleged air conditioning was a joke. It only pumped out warm air. according to the receptionist, it hasn't been connected. also, the rug looked like it hadn't been replaced since the previous century. It was really showing its age. the bed wasn't that bad though, i slept like a baby... a baby with allergies.

The hotel is quite near the airport. It is a short walk from the metro station. This made travel easy. Fresh towels were available daily. The bathroom was nice and clean.

The mattress was old.
