Very good stay
Pros:

It was a bit quirky but nice, comfortable and clean

Cons:

The accommodation sits between a gas station, a fast food restaurant, and a highway, so the immediate viccinity is not very inspiring.. but it is close to the airport and the facility itself is good!

Awesome stay
Pros:

Close to the airport, beds were comfy, the food at the restaurant was yummy and the bartender was so friendly. I traveled solo and felt very welcomed there. Loved the atmosphere in the library area where free breakfast was served. There was a large selection for breakfast and quite good.
