Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was extremely cold when we came, and the noisy heater took more than five hours to warm up the room. When we turned the heater to a lower fan it kept on blasting out air at the same speed and noisiness. We had to choose between sleeping next to an airplane taking off or freeze. Needless to say that we did not have a good night. We were moved from a suite to a standard room because we had dogs with us. Yes. The property takes dogs, but you have to call and ask them politely. Morning staff was not professional. Would not stay there again. Lot of noise from the main road.
