constant noise dated furnishings
the ensuite cabin was adequate.
the location near the airport meant constant noise from planes. the cabin furnishings felt quite dated. i was also surprised by the lack of soundproofing between cabins, as i could hear every conversation next door.

Handy Stopover
simple check-in friendly staff clean cabin
The after-hours check-in was simple. The staff were friendly and offered transport to pick up my rental car. The cabin was quite clean. I found everything i needed for my brief stay.
The cabin is a little dated. It definitely could use some curtain hooks.
