"Excellent recommendation for a first night if you have a (fairly) late arrival; they are very close to the airport, have a reliable pick-up service, clean if a bit spartan rooms, lovely open verandah to enjoy your first- and in our case also last - breakfast; yes, you can hear the planes but not that often and not really loudly and there is a lively river next to the hotel and lots of birds which provide pleasant background noises; best of all, it is down a lane off the main road so you do not hear the traffic at all; the hotel receptionist on our first morning was exceptionally helpful when our rental car was dropped off by an agent who didn't speak any English."
