"Located next to the airport with a short walk to the terminal. They have luggage carts at the hotel and even a kiosk to print luggage tags! The restaurant was delicious and the bar was a nice sitting area at the end of the day. About a 40 mins drive into Helsinki. It was clean, quiet and the staff were friendly and helpful."
