Wonderful and Convenient Stay!

The hotel's free shuttle service to the airport, even in the early morning, was great! Check-in was quick and efficient. The staff were nice and friendly. I also liked that the room had a package with a tampon and pad.
The shower had only two temperature options, hot or cold, making it difficult to get comfortable.
