The hotel room was spacious and clean - and not too far from the airport. The staff was friendly. Unfortunately, my airport transfer from the airport did not show (in spite of two confirmations). While this is not the fault of the hotel at all - there is extensive road construction which makes the entrance very difficult to access.

Excellent choice near the airport
We were not here very long unfortunately as we arrived late on one flight and had a flight out early the next morning. The hotel is close to the airport. The shuttle was easy to arrange and a friendly driver picked us up promptly. Our room was beautiful, clean and large. The reception staff were exceptionally friendly and spoke excellent English. Highly recommend this hotel especially if you want to be close to the airport.

Close to airport - great value
Huge clean room, comfortable bed, very nice a/c, nice buffet breakfast with good coffee. Very good value. So close to the airport. Only addition would be a hair dryer, but certainly not a deal breaker. There is ongoing construction on the main road (7/24) which adds a little to the time travel to and from and the noise - also, not a deal breaker.
