"This was an excellent hotel with convenient amenities, location -right across the street from the airport, excellent spa, pool, gym and restaurants! The service was excellent in every area of the hotel and security was too. Surprisingly, the rooms were soundproof and you didn’t even know you were across the street from the airport. Recommend to all and will stay here again!"
