The staff showed kindness and attentiveness. my room was like an oasis. the complimentary airport shuttle with hotel staff was a nice bonus. The indoor swimming pool and hot jacuzzi.
i found the service at the restaurant slow. i waited an extended time for a simple breakfast order. this was frustrating and detracted from my dining experience.

a tender stay near the airport
free shuttle gentle embrace clean room great value
The shuttle picked us up so late. It seemed like a gentle embrace after a long journey. This free service was lovely. staff offered assistance at every turn. the family room we occupied was clean, a haven of peace for us all. i discovered great value in every corner of this place. It beckons me to return someday.
I noticed only a very slight hiccup, the milk portions were occasionally scarce. This was a minor inconvenience in an otherwise perfect experience
