My first reaction was Location, i give it 10/10 right next to the airport within walking distance. 2nd very clean property, friendly staffs and the security guys very welcoming. I stayed in many hotels but so far for me ET Skylight hotel is The winner when it comes to the room space, clean very relaxing, All you can Eat buffet. A True 5star. It’s worth every penny.
