The staff were kind. Their smiles were like sunshine. breakfast started very early. A blessing for early flights.
Soundproofing was not good. i could hear noises from outside and other rooms, this made it a restless night. the wall between the bathroom and room was transparent. light shone through it. Not very restful.

decent stay, but some issues need attention
highway noise firm bed
the breakfast buffet offered a super selection of options.
the noise level was excessive due to the nearby highway. i also found the bed to be too firm for my liking. additionally, a fire alarm occurred in the middle of the night, around 3:30 am, after which the electricity went out.
