“What strikes me is the dedication to service, particularly the warmth of the staff. Its proximity to the airport is a definite advantage, complete with a shuttle, and the on-site dining adds to the convenience. While some may find the absence of air conditioning a consideration, its location near shops and eateries is a plus for exploring the area.”
