Pros:

Erg aardige mensen, redelijk goed ontbijt en perfect dicht bij het vliegveld.

Cons:

Het is erg dicht bij de weg en daardoor lawaaierig als je het raam open doet. Ook de airco maakt relatief veel lawaai.

Pros:

Proche de l aéroport.
Pub restaurant dans l hôtel et station service et Mc Do accessible à pied.

Cons:

La chambre est bruyante car elle donne sur un axe routier très fréquenté et elle n est pas bien isolée du bruit.

Cozy & Great!
Pros:

Stayed only for 1 night but could've easily stayed for more. Location was easy, bedroom itself was big, the breakfast was great and though it was continental, I feel like it was one of the better ones out there. I also liked how you can Chromecast on the tv. Check in and check out was simple, staff was decent

Nothing to dislike, left with smiles on our faces.
