Acceptable Stay near the Airport

close airport helpful staff dated room slow cooking
The hotel is close to the airport. The breakfast offered a great choice of foods including fruit. Staff were polite and helpful. I was able to check in before 3pm.
The room was a little dated. On one occasion a guest waited for over 10 minutes for the chef to return. This is unacceptable.
