"I have stayed here three times for early morning airport departures in the last 2 years. They have updated the rooms and it is much nicer than the first time I stayed. The beds are very comfortable. The airport shuttle is convenient and their breakfast starts at 4:30 so you can grab something even for the earliest flights. The elevator is also a plus as most of the other cheap airport hotels don’t have one."
