Good price and location. Free breakfast. Not a fancy breakfast but plenty of good food. Should add cinnamon rolls with raisins on top.

I was made to believe this hotel was close to the airport but was not and that provided transportation , no, had to pay a taxi from and to the airport. The staff was wonderful and the hotel super comfortable and very clean but Hotels . Com led me there when I specifically asked for the above requirement s, I found out too late when I was left at the airport waiting for a shuttle, next time I’ll book directly with the hotels myself, no 3rd parties 😡

Very helpful staff at this hotel. Jave at the front was always available to make sure I had everything I needed. Tasty simple breakfast. Would like to see more local fruit choices. Other than that everything was just fine.
This is the third stay at this hotel and I would stay again.
