I had a decent stay at this hotel. The location is great, being close to the airport bus stop, city center, and various shops. The rooms were clean, but I found them a bit small and the noise from the main road was a drawback. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my visit. The breakfast was affordable, but it could have offered more variety.
