We had an amazing experience staying in this property. We would like to thank Jenifer for her help with the check-in, and check-out process, and planning for the day trips! Breakfast was good. My only concern is about the Bathroom condition. It is not up to a 4-star standard hotel, but it is just okay.

The hotel is fine for an in and out from the airport. However, on the hotels.com site it says that they offer airport shuttle, and there is no mention of a fee, nor that the shuttle is only available at certain times. This should be rectified.

I got to the hotel after midnight and the staff treated me so well, someone took all my luggages and took me to my room. Really happy with my stay. Breakfast is included and the check out is at 1. I highly recommend this place.
