Staying at this hotel was quite an experience! The location was super convenient, just a short drive from the airport, which made my arrival and departure a breeze. The rooms were nice and clean, although I expected a bit more space. I really enjoyed the pool area, which was perfect for relaxing, but the breakfast options could definitely use some expansion. Overall, I felt that it provided good value for money, but a few improvements could make it even better.
