"The room layout and amenities were great. Better than expected. Also great view off the balcony. Lobby and breakfast were good. Excellent value and surprisingly good hotel with easy access to the area but not too busy either. Would stay again."

10/10 Excellent
"The room and the common area on the 2nd floor were both very nice, even though the reception area downstairs looked a bit tired. I would definitely stay there again. I especially liked the phone charger platforms on each side of the bed and the convenient airport shuttle."

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful property, very conveniently close to the airport, great restaurant on site plus Starbucks, which was a huge hitter for us. The only issue that we had was the water temperature in our shower which I brought it to the staffs attention at checkout, it went from freezing cold to scolding Hot within seconds, there was no in between so be careful with that."
