Friendly staff, the hotel has a restaurant on site, which was convenient, but the rooms were very small. Hard with two people and two carry-ons and two personal items, there wasn't room to put anything. But we only stayed for a very short amount of time (technically only 5-6 hours) so it was doable. Conveniently located between airport and city center, plenty of restaurants around. Need to take the bus to the city center or Uber.
