i found the location quite convenient, a short taxi ride got me to the airport quickly. the staff was very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. my room had a beautiful garden view, and the external seating was a plus. i appreciated the comfortable bed and great pillows provided.
i noticed the room could have benefited from a deeper clean, some ring marks were visible on the tables.
