Nice to be close to airport. However shuttle hard to locate as it doesn’t follow the schedule posted on the site at the airport. We waited 40 min for it to show up (showed every 10-15 min). It stops at various hotels - which is fine - but didn’t use for morning of flight as I couldn’t be sure how long it would take to get there. Used an Uber for that. Breakfast is great with tons of variety. Bed and room comfortable and new.
