We had a lovely stay here. The hotel was very clean, and every staff member we met was incredibly kind and helpful. The best part is the location—you can walk to shops, restaurants, and all the main sights. Just a heads-up: there’s no air conditioning, so it might get a bit warm for some guests. Overall, a great choice for convenience and service!

This Is The Place to Stay!

If I could give this place more stars than five, I would do so! Everything was wonderful. Whether it was the friendliness of staff, the comfort of the beds or the spacious rooms, it was all perfect. These people remember your name and open the door when you exit the facility. One of the real gems is the breakfast buffet. So many options! Start out having them prepare you a tasty omelet. From there you can move on to the myriad of other self serve options to eat. On some evenings they provide a buffet dinner with a show included. This place is more like a resort than a hotel. They have an excellent airport shuttle as well. When you arrive there is a gentleperson waiting for you with a sign with your name written on it. Nothing like feeling special from the gate!
Much better to wait here than at the airport.
The beautiful lobby and efficient staff.
Very comfy and always free tea and cookies available in lobby.
I really enjoyed my stay!
