The hotel is conveniently located near the lobby on the ground floor, making it easy to access. While some noise from nearby units can be heard, the rooms themselves are comfortable and clean. The service is top-notch with friendly and helpful staff, although a warmer welcome would have been appreciated. The location is ideal for those needing quick access to the airport or rental car services, but not so much for walking around. The dining experience offers a good variety of options, including quick breakfast choices and cinnamon buns. The facilities are well-maintained, with a heated pool available in the sunny afternoon.
