was so great near the airport

coffee maker comfortable bed blackout curtains
the hotel room included standard amenities. a coffee maker and tea kettle were available. the bed was large and comfortable (a king, i think!). i found blackout curtains that helped me sleep well before my early flight.
the parking fee was £12 per day. i had to search a bit for an available space. more parking spots would definitely improve the experience.
