We had a very late check in and someone was there to check us in with no issue. We only needed to stay for a few hours before heading to our next destination. The staff is so friendly and we had a very pleasant stay. Highly recommended staying here.

For the money, this is an extremely nice place to stay. Nothing fancy, but everything is clean and the staff is very friendly. It has great workability to restaurants and markets yet is off the main path. I would highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again.

This hotel is very well situated for easy access to the airport. There is onsite parking available and it is close to car rental companies, literally walking distance.
There are a couple dining options nearby but not as many as a traveller/tourist would expect.
