This is a very nice hotel off the main drag so it is a bit quieter. It was very hot when we were there and the air-conditioning was working quite well. The staff was very helpful and considerate. Breakfast was very adequate with warm as well as cold food. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others who are traveling.
