Location to airport and good for a single night stay either side of a holiday
Pros:

Great location right next to the domestic airport and the price was good, considering most other places were at least double. For a single night stay on either side of our holiday (for a family of 5), this place suited our needs perfectly for our international flight in and out. Staff were great and were able to get us two rooms close to each other and enough keycards for the adults. Noise pollution was minimal, but I suspect this is dependant on whether you stayed in the more modernised rooms vs. the older ones.

Cons:

Showers were REALLY weak, so couldn't quite wash out all the shampoo from the hair. Bathrooms were tiny with very little room to move between the shower and the sink/toilet. However, this isn't unexpected given the space. Could put up with this for the night easily enough.

Not comfortable to rest, but clean. Just for an emergency.
Pros:

It was very convenient location as I had a flight very early in the morning, and the room was very clean.

Cons:

The pillow was extremely uncomfortable, after an hour it went completely flat, so I couldn’t sleep at all and I requested another one to at least have 2 and the staff wasn’t able to provide it.

Pros:

Close to hotel
Easy check in
Easy check out
Staff were polite and efficient

Cons:

Car park was terrible
