The hotel was nice and clean. Staff were efficient and helpful. We loved the breakfast buffet style. They had a little bit of everything. We were also pleased with the shuttle service from the hotel to the airport and vice versa and the room service! Hope to stay here again soon.

The hotel is very nice, clean and good location. The only things I didn’t like were breakfast it wasn’t varied enough of food and I stayed in the 6 floor and in that floor there’s stairs, and I had two suitcases, but the rest was great 👍
