I was happy with the airport transfers. It was seamless. the staff greeted me warmly, even at the late hour of my arrival. the early breakfast at 5:30 am was a lifesaver for my seaplane connection. i really liked that.

The noise from the nearby mosque was noticeable. I wished the soundproofing had been better. it did affect my sleep, especially with the early morning prayers. this is just something to be aware of.

the airport pick up was fine, it was easy to find the driver.

The room was quite noisy. I could hear everything happening in the hallway. the prayer calls from a nearby mosque were loud at 5 am. also, the air conditioning barely worked. I set it to the lowest temperature, but the room remained hot and stuffy.
