The property was well kept, though an older building it was clean. It was handy to have the restaurant right there. It was close to the airport, and the staff was very friendly. Oh, and the bed was very comfortable. Even better than my own.

My flight was delayed but the staff was helpful in providing instructions for after midnight check in. The area looked completely deserted and my taxi driver was concerned since I am an older woman traveling alone, and my confidence was proven correct. The instructions were clear and worked perfectly. The room was comfortable and clean, just what I needed after dealing with 2 connecting flights and hours of delays. Highly recommend for affordability and quality. Wish I had time to enjoy the pub.
