Loved this hotel. Large, modern and clean as well as comfortable and with a restaurant on the premises. Definitely recommend.
It was about a 20 minute walk to village with great views of bridges and several eating options.
Close to highway and a grocery store nearby

Lovely hotel we booked as close to airport, very nice condition. We were able to get in our rooms early, but they were going to store our luggage for us if needed. Didn't use the restaurant but looked nice. Very walkable into town and a lovely village, had a fun cruise of the area. My only complaint was the bed was not very comfortable. Shuttle to airport was great, lovely driver, very personable.
