Great stay
Great stay at the Serena. They have a lot of useful services at the hotel for a business trip, including an ATM, coffee shops and car service. They provided a complimentary local phone with internet and airport pick-up/drop-off. It has very good security and a connection to the Serena Business Complex. Would recommend.
