Check in was quick with minimal social chat which works for me. Room was ok, some peeling wallpaper, the smoke detector was hanging from its wires, and limited room/bathroom amenities bit they had liquid hand soap and lotion on the wall dispensers in the bathroom which was a first, i haye the tiny stuoid bath bars so liquid hand soap was nice. Shuttle was on time and efficient to and from the airport.
