Would recommend it for an overnight stop when waiting to go to airport, be prepared for a disappointment if you plan on
Pros:

Convenience to the airport, cheap and comfortable

Cons:

Noise from main road, out dated decor, only one elevator working and we were on the top floor took 15 minutes waiting on elevator to get dow for breakfast. Although breakfast was good the dining room was unorganised chaos.

Good stay for connecting flights
Pros:

Airport pick up and shuttle back to the airport included. Breakfast included. The room was spacious and clean. All staff we have encountered were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The shuttle from the hotel to the airport only runs once an hour from 8 AM. Offering it at least twice an hour would give people more flexibility and make the bus less crowded.
The breakfast selection was very basic.
