We had an amazing experience staying in this property. We would like to thank Jenifer for her help with the check-in, and check-out process, and planning for the day trips! Breakfast was good. My only concern is about the Bathroom condition. It is not up to a 4-star standard hotel, but it is just okay.

The hotel is fine for an in and out from the airport. However, on the hotels.com site it says that they offer airport shuttle, and there is no mention of a fee, nor that the shuttle is only available at certain times. This should be rectified.

Hotel staff, very clean but it lacks decorations and rooms too small, to cramped. Loved the breakfast and the warm and kind staff. Too pricey
