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.
