Good Value

Big rooms, decent bathroom, very courteous staff, nice restaurant with good breakfast, attractive pool and courtyard. It’s 20 min from the airport and traffic is crazy but the free shuttle works well, even at 5am. Rooms facing the back of the hotel rather than the courtyard are quieter.
