Convenient and Comfortable Stay!
friendly staffconvenient locationlarge garden
The staff members were very friendly. They were also helpful (always smiling!). The hotel's location between the airport and the central business district really suited my travel needs. The addition of a large garden with a jogging track is a nice bonus.
The glasses in the room were quite small.

The breakfast included in my reservation was great. The wifi worked excellently too. The food was delicious (especially the buffet they served!). The pool area was awesome as well.
The room lighting made working on a laptop difficult. Corridors were generally noisy. Even at night, it was hard to find restful sleep (i needed a really good sleep).
