A basic but pleasant hotel very close to the station and airport bus terminus. Room reasonable size and good bathroom. Good value for money. The bathroom does have an opaque glass door but the design still gives reasonable privacy. The full-length mirror right in front of the toilet is an odd design feature! Breakfast is good and excellent value but does not start until 7:30am
