The room was very comfortable for me, with a desk to get some work done at, and a lovely, cozy bed. I had a great sleep, the room was clean, and the staff were all friendly. It's an excellent location - the shuttle to and from the airport was prompt and easy, the City Mall offers some additional food and shopping options, and overall this was a comfortable and safe hotel.
