Good location, spacious room, AC and WIFI working well.
Free airport transfer was flawless even though we landed very early.
We were allowed to check-in much in advance without additional costs.
Card payment with VISA worked fine, no fee for that.
The receptionist was friendly and helpful, made some calls to solve issues with our car rental company.
Breakfast included in the price was tasty and plentiful.

Guest review
Staff was very friendly. Good location. Loved they had some vegan options on the menu. Also I was so tired when I got here, I had left my phone in their restaurant. When I realized I was missing it, I went outside and the lady from restaurant was already bringing it to me.
Ac works great and the shower water gets extremely hot.

Great hotel with a very good price and a convenient location. The best part was the owner — a very friendly and welcoming person. He helped us with everything we needed and was always ready to answer any questions. I felt very comfortable staying here. Highly recommended!
