10/10 Excellent
"We stayed one night to be close to the airport. The room was very clean with all the amenities we needed. Coffee maker and mini fridge in the room. Great air conditioning. Nice big bathroom with really thick towels and shampoo, conditioner and shower gel provided. The morning breakfast and coffee was really good. Had fresh pineapple and watermelon, good coffee, mini pancakes, beef birria. Free transportation to the airport. Staff all very friendly."
