Very nice facility. Huge room with great amenities. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Only minor problem was that the hotel lists that they have a restaurant, but when I asked to order, I could not get the majority of items on the menu. Other than that, things were great.

Nice room and amenities. Front desk staff very polite and fluent in English. Bathroom needs shower curtain as it floods easily. TVs need more cable channels. Overall an excellent experience.

Verified traveler

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
You can’t appreciate anything a hotel has to offer, especially if they “no show” for scheduled free shuttle service. Arrived late 9:30pm with 0400hr departure. After an hour of looking and inquiring (none of the taxi drivers ever heard of hotel), I ended up sleeping outside the departures entry on a bench until checkout opened at 1am. Horrible experience and I will address this issue further via other avenues.
