Everything was lovely. Beautiful place, very clean and close to the airport. I was travelling solo and it was so nice to meet some of the people travelling like me in the morning and have breakfast together. The staff was so friendly and I had a great night sleep. My room was clean and had a comfortable bed and the shower was good too with plenty of hot water. Would definitely recommend and the price was great too!
