The hotel has recently updated rooms with very pleasant furnishings, but cleanliness was an issue as I had to request clean towels. The TV's provided were a nice touch, though.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was convenient, being close to the airport, but it felt somewhat out of the way. The rooms were basic, with simple decor and bare walls. I had to request clean towels as the room was not properly cleaned. On the positive side, the staff was accommodating and helpful.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were not cleaned when I arrived, which made me request clean towels. On the bright side, the rooms were recently updated with very pleasant furnishings, although I found out that the bathtub had been just painted. The service was attentive, but I had to request certain amenities like room service. The location was very convenient, being very close to the airport, albeit slightly out of the way from other attractions. The dining options were limited, with the fruit buffet being a highlight. Overall, the hotel had its ups and downs, offering both comfort and inconveniences.
