Dobry hotel se strategickym umistenim u letiste, pekny bazen a dobra snidane.
Pros:

Blizkost letiste

Cons:

Vyuzili jsme jen na noc po priletu, takze nas nic nerusilo. Ctyrluzkovy pokoj je opravdu stisneny a byl citit cigaretovy kour. Parking byl trochu problem, ale o par ulic dal jsme misto nakonec nasli.
