i found the location ideal, being an easy walk from the domestic airport. a shuttle service is available if you have large bags. i booked a return shuttle to the international terminal and found it convenient and economical. the staff gave me a breakfast bag as i had to leave before the regular breakfast service started.

the shower had some bugs, and the bathroom door did not offer complete privacy (it wasn't fully sealed).
