Old hotel. I was there for one night only and I wanted to have a good rest, but the room was old, ac was not working properly and overall I did not feel the confort I wanted to have. You can definitely have something better for the same money.

The hotel is very close to the highway, which makes it easy to find. However, the hotel is quite old, the elevator is shaking when going up, and the door card is also old-fashioned. It failed twice and had to be replaced. The room is big, but the facilities are old. It is okay for this price range. The important thing is: the "free airport shuttle" written in the facilities of this hotel disappeared three months ago. Don't refer to it when booking a room. We were fooled and booked this hotel

Overall, I had a comfortable stay! There was a restaurant next door, so I didn't have any trouble finding something to eat, and it was nice to be able to drop into a local bar about a 5-minute walk away. However, I was a little disappointed that the shuttle service to the airport was not available. The guide said that there was a service, so I was disappointed because I had high hopes. In the end, I used Uber and arrived at the airport in about 10 minutes. It's possible that the driver is not there, so it's best to call before you go!
