It was ideal
Pros:

I wanted to be near the airport so it was ideal. The breakfast was enormous and very enjoyable

Cons:

A couple of things in the room did not work, hairdryer and lights but were mentioned.
I had a scam message via booking.com which fortunately I ignored and made contact with the hotel.direct as I got nothing from booking.com

Parfait pour être proche de la ville sans y être pleinement.
Pros:

L'hôtel est idéalement placé. L'accueil était chaleureux. Le confort était là. Sans oublier le petit déjeuner qui était complet, varié et local. On s'y sent bien et la vue sur mer est le vrai plus.

Cons:

Petit bémol sur le nettoyage, il y avait une sorte de mucosité avec des cheveux près de notre rideau à notre arrivée. Ce qui n'était pas trop plaisant. Les jours suivants nickel.

Good value and a convenient for an overnighter close to the airport.
Pros:

Great location for the airport. Breakfast was very good. Bar was open until midnight.

Cons:

Our garden view room looked onto the road so sitting on the balcony would not have been that pleasant but once the balcony doors were closed we were not disturbed by noise and slept very well.

Vi är nöjda med vistelsen.
Pros:

Riklig, utmärkt frukost. Bra med kylskåp och vattenkokare på rummet. Litet men fungerande rum. Kan vara problem med parkering. Saknade ramp i trappan till hotellbyggnaden, svårt att bära väskor. Bra läge nära flygplatsen. Liten bra taverna finns nära hotellet. Trevlig välkomnande hund. Vi återkommer gärna.
