convenient locationfree shuttleluggage scalesclear signage
I stayed for just one night before catching an early flight. its location is unbeatable. the signage from the terminal is clear, directing you straight from the sky bus. the hotel offers a free shuttle. I didn't need it because the walk was less than 10 minutes. plus, i noticed handy scales for weighing luggage, very thoughtful!!!
the in-room air conditioning was a little noisy. this made it slightly difficult to sleep.
