Fly On Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"As soon as I arrived moving through the hustle of the city, it was quiet and peaceful. I found a big tub to take a bath, a comfortable bed, and a lovely restaurant with good, affordable food downstairs. It was everything I needed at the end of my long trip the night before an early flight. I will be back if I’m in the area again."
