I had a great two-night stay at Best Western Airport 85 Motel. The location is superb. close to both the airport and the train station, making travel a breeze. The only downside was that my room was on the upper floor without a lift, which made carrying my wife's luggage a bit of a challenge. Overall, I appreciated the cleanliness, friendly staff, and included breakfast.
