I spent six days here and it was a pleasant place to relax and unwind.
Its convenient for the airport and thanks to Uber get around was easy and its just a short ride to the metro.
The staff are very friendly and nothing seemed to be to much trouble.
The restaurant was OK, a large menu, but much of it wasn't available, but what there was was very tasty. Breakfast was simple but more than sufficient.
Would certainly stay again when I am passing through.

Lovely setting near the airport
A beautiful setting with a nice big room and a swimming pool. The only thing I found a bit odd was that they wanted to check my room before I checked out. This meant I had to wait and didn’t leave a good impression. They did however let me change dates when I mistakenly booked the wrong night.
