ibis budget Amsterdam Airport

Stayed 2 nights in early June, dry moderate weather; 2nd stay at an ibis (blue) Budget Hotel this trip. Ok location across highway from airport in newly renovated (staff said Feb 2023) building, right next to ibis (red… standard?) Hotel. About a 20 min bus trip to/from Amsterdam Central Train Station from airport stop; punctual roundtrip free 5-7 minute bus shuttle between hotel & airport (look for ibis Hotel sign in bus pickup area at airport) every 20-30 min or so when we needed it (schedule available at hotel), sometimes pretty crowded. *Note: If coming from Central Train station, take bus to airport, then catch shuttle. Room good although a bit cramped as in Paris experience, private toilet and shower, a/c good, electrical outlets adequate, good elevator, excellent soundproofing in busy building (little-to-no guest noise; could not hear any outside… significant airplane!... noise at all with window closed). Large parking lot for each hotel. Did not purchase breakfast option, but smallish area in lobby where it was served was busy in mornings. Snacks & prepackaged sandwiches/wraps, soft drinks, coffee available for purchase; had microwave to heat items also… used it with my personal mug to heat water for instant coffee and tea we packed. Staff advised ibis red next door had bar, beer/wine to go, food (burgers) to go; walked over, very busy there, prices a bit steep to me; check hours if interested. McDonald’s across highway is probably 10-15 min walk. Can’t say enough about desk staff… excellent customer service (answered questions, printed 2 documents I needed), always friendly and smiling. Kudos especially to desk staff members Dante & Lidia (spelling?).
