I wouldn’t book again
Pros:

Location proximity to airport

Cons:

There was no hot water - after requesting on the matter the turned it on and then it was off again- apparently not many guests hence not hot water - it was disappointing cause I was a returnee. Breakfast was really basic

A nice little star ⭐
Pros:

The location was great for both the town centre and the airport. Plenty of eating and drinking places in the area. Hotel is basic but the room was a nice size, beds were firm. Couldn't hear the planes when the balcony door was closed. Breakfast was okay, there's plenty of choice. The staff were very nice. Room was cleaned every day.

Cons:

The shower was quite snug, think it would be a good idea to have the shower head hanging on the wall and probably a little tray to have your own toiletries on in the shower.
