Good location for short stay
Pros:

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel is very handy to the airport. There is a bistro on site and a gaming room. Bathroom and room were somewhat small but not tiny. Beds ok, quite squishy and a little squeaky. We could hear people arguing outside our room window in the carpark late at night but overall we were happy with the 1 night stay

Cons:

External noise of people arguing in the car park. Bathroom was a little small

Meh.
Pros:

The bed was awesome.

Cons:

The fridge was noisy and froze everything put into it. The room wasn't ready when I arrived after 2:30pm. Ants were a problem going from the outside window to the bin. And other bugs running around the floor and in and out of the bathroom. Due to the window/ door to outside being open on arrival? may be to air room?
