I liked this property because it was clean ,the staff was friendly, and helpful, theres a restaurant on site, i did not go to the pool or gym as it often was closed by the time i returned to the hotel. I would recommend this hotel to others because its not too far from the airport, however if youre booking here be mindful that its next to a busy highway which can be quite loud in the mornings. I would recommend booking your room with a "city view" facing the away from the highway.

The staff were professional and amazing! Very helpful and the manager was understanding when the breakfast included didn’t show up on our RSVP he honoured it when we showed him it was on our itinerary.
