The hotel overall is nice, clean and the staff was super friendly. However, what surprised me was that the pool was for an additional fee. I do not know if Orbitz forgot to mention about it or the hotel. Also, no mini fridge in the room was unacceptable. Breakfast was tasty but pricey. The location is quite good, close to mall and convivence stores. Also, be prepare to pay for the parking lot.

Functional hotel, quite good location towards the airport. Maybe a bit outdated, but alright to stay for a night. Breakfast is in another building. Swimming pool is in the nearby hotel, which is good, but the info should be provided by reception.

1. The hotel we were supposed to stay at was closed and under renovation. We were directed to another hotel - no one informed me about this in andvane. (primer hotel) 2. We ordered a room with a queen bed, I received two single beds. When I said I would like to get a room with one bed, we were moved to a room with two single beds pushed together - unbelievable. 3. No room service - no one came after the first night to refill coffee or tea, change towels for clean ones, etc. 4. The refrigerator wasn't working.

Average hotel

I have stayed at this hotel before. This time the room was run down, bathroom tiles cracked, sharp under foot as grout also had cone out. Wallpaper ripped and hanging off the walls. Had requested a shower but got a bath. Moved rooms the next day and was given another room with a bath. Moved again. No apology as such. Very noisy as they had some sort of conference and many people.
