This hotel is absolutely worth the stay. It has access to everything you need, or within walking distance. Beautiful, clean and well managed. The hot breakfast is incredible, with many options. Also restaurants for lunch or dinners. Which is nice when you don't know the area well. The staff was extremely kind and bilingual. Unfortunately, there is no airport shuttle. However, they were able to get us a taxi quite quickly that was clean and professional.

Also got daily water, a huge + for that. Variety of buffet with different restaurant close by. Had issue with the door and key card but the staff was pompt in fixing it.

The breakfast was really good. The room had no microwave and the ac vent was dusty which caused allergies for my friends and I. The staff were really kind and helpful, housekeeping staff was amazing! The pool needs to be cleaned more regularly. The gym was ok, better ventilation would make it better. Overall a good experience! should these improvements be implemented, I'd love to return and recommend to friends.
