The hotel was conveniently located just ten minutes from the airport and adjacent to the mall. The rooms were clean and spotless, with the added bonus of having tile floors instead of carpet. The service was exceptional, making our late check-in transit planning a breeze. The dining experience was quite good with a varied selection of food, though basic. Overall, a decent option for a quick stay given its proximity to the airport and nearby amenities.
