Very good airport hotel

My wife and I stayed one night in this comfortable hotel. Everything was clean and functioned well. We were pleasantly surprised to find a refrigerator and kettle in the room. We avoided the restaurant because of bad reviews and there are restaurants and a grocery store about a 15 minute walk away. The shuttle to the hotel was very good.
