    just a small detail parking is not illuminated and when you arrive at 11 PM. it’s really very dark.

    peaceful quiet clean easy free parking charming and you need in the morning exactly 9 minutes even at the rush hour to reach the airport

    Good enough for a one night stay as an airport hotel, but noisy.

    Noise from room to room, noise from corridor to room, noise from outside ( airport) to room. Room was rather small, but acceptable size. Very narrow stairs to go up to the room, barely possible to do with a full size suitcase.

    Close to the airport, plenty of parking space, interesting old building, nicely refurbished. Good bed, nice shower and bathroom. Didn't use the restaurant, but it looked nice.

    The hotel outside environment is not in good shape , the rooms are badly sound insulated so noise from other guests or the outside ( aircraft) can be heard, waking you up. There are cables that are hanging loose from the ceiling in the room, on the outside etc. There were stains on the bed linen and no soap available in the bathroom with shower rugs completely ripped. No ac which ads up to having bugs in the room since you had to sleep with open windows. Shades have stains as well. There is no staff to be found anywhere so the safety aspect is as well not given. There is no breakfast at all. Sorry but we will not come back.

    Hotel has potential, but needs lots of improvement

    This hotel is not what you would have expected. It's not a conventional hotel but a venue facility. It has four guest rooms which are fine but it has no restaurant facilities and whilst it has a functioning bar, it's not not open. There was one member of staff looking after the premises who seemed to have little knowledge of the hotel and what it provides. There is no breakfast. .

    The room was very pleasantly presented and provided most of whatever would have been expected. It was very clean and the bed very comfortable.

    It was right over the flight path of the airport and there was now AC so we couldn’t shut the windows. It was tolerable and would not keep me from staying again.

    The property is off a quiet street and only has four rooms, so not a lot of interior or noise. One staff meme er to answer questions who was readily available.

    I checked in at around 8pm and I had a hard time finding the entrance. There’s a sign at the street, but then just a big parking lot without any help as to where to go. But to be fair, the owner of the hotel was easily reachable by messages/phone call and she immediately came to help me.

    It’s a very cute old house, but the rooms are exceptionally nice. Very modern, clean and cozy.

    The host was very rushed and not friendly on arrival. The fire alarm right above the bed flashes brightly all night. No information about checkout, no breakfast. There was a Nespresso machine in the room but no coffee cups and no one to ask for some. In the morning there was no one around to checkout with, we had to figure out our own way out of the building. Too expensive for zero service.

    Close to airport. Clean.

    1. A little difficult to find 2. No real entrance or place for greeting 3. No chairs in room 4. Bed was way too soft for me (a common finding in our travels though) 5. Seemed more of a restaurant than a hotel 6. Could not get TV to work for regular channels.

    1. Friendly owners 2. Clean room with coffee maker and nice bathroom
