For what you pay, the television was disappointing. After a long day out exploring, we like to relax and maybe watch a film. The tiny screen television was stuck away high in a corner.

Hotel Zen Airport with Free shuttle
Great little place to get to and from the airport smoothly. Only thing is that it can be a little noisey because people come and go through the night. Very comfy bed and earplugs will handle that though :)
