Pleasent place to crash after a hectic day flying around
Pros:

Walking distance from airport.

Cons:

Lack of airport trollies available for luggage due to being a little bit of a walk and hassle with baggage to or from one and another.

Noisey in bedroom with roadside noise due to the window not sealing correctly.

Good to refresh before next flight.
Pros:

Location and proximity to the airport. Hotel was clean. Staff were friendly. I like that there were 2 pillow per person if there was 2 people- rare in budget hotels and nice that there was tea and coffee offered in the room.

Cons:

The shower head was in a ball and wouldn't stay upright when showering. The room has a draught from the window, making it quite cool. There is aircon and blanket to help. There is traffic noise etc but I wouldn't have noticed if sleeping. No lift but was aware before booking.
