Our flight was cancelled so we unfortunately weren’t able to enjoy this hotel and they didn’t refund our money. I’m sure it’s a nice hotel.

It is in a good location, close to the square. A solid choice if you need to be close to the airport. No shuttle but they have one paid parking space (10 USD/night).
