10/10 Excellent
"Ideal for early/late flights. Room was huge and immaculate, great bed & shower. Restaurant looked nice but there's also a couple of good local options and a convenience store only 100m walk, got a very good meal there. 4am airport shuttle was convenient and on time, couldn't have been easier."
