The hotel is nice, rooms are spacious and there are many restaurants on the property and closeby. The price of food is reasonable, and it is located close to the airport.
Sometimes it get too crowded.

There are actually two hotel buildings. The place can get crowded and eating options can be limited (unless eating is based on drinking beer). Breakfast is excellent, almost worth skipping a meal.

Property seems new, clean, and safe. Nice breakfast spread, and other dining options.
Be prepared to sleep without the AC while the controls was in my room, the AC was not on when i needed to be on, and they dont pick up the phone at the reception. Otherwise my stay was great
