- Who it suits
- Domestic travellers who want a mid-range room within walking distance.
- Why we would choose it
- Listings put it about ten minutes' walk from the domestic terminal and its station.
- The compromise
- Ten minutes on foot with luggage takes effort. The shuttle's price and hours are not confirmed, so ask the hotel.
- Worth paying more?
- Over the budget hotel next to the terminals, only if you want the extra comfort.
