From the excellent desk staff to the waiters everyone was very polite and friendly. The initial room we had wasn't comfortable bed wise and the manager was very accommodating in finding a room that was. Went above and beyond. Breakfast was superb and the rooms spotless.

Rooftop Pool - In Door - Exceptional - If you like to swim, you must try it. The hotel is wonderful in every way, and so easy if you are catching a flight - just walk over to the terminal.
