Pros:

good location close to airport, room comfy, bed good and car parking close to door and easy to access

Cons:

the recepition on the 2nd floor was a bit confusing and also hard to find a park at outside carpark was hard as well. not close to much food places was also a thing but its like that for a lot of the hotels round the area.
