So noisy all night with other guests running and laughing loudly outside our door, a large group of guests drinking and smoking heavily in the patio area being aggressively loud. The breakfast was subpar super salty and cold and no juice the machine was broken the coffee was so bitter too. No one unlocked the pool so we couldn’t use it. The staff were so nice though. Very helpful.

Stayed here for a quick overnight trip to be close to the airport. The free shuttle and location was what made me choose this site. Hotel is big and clean, the usual amenities. Staff was nice enough and check in/out was efficient. My room was directly next to the freeway, like that was the view from my only window! Which is somewhat noisy, but my upstairs neighbors were much louder! Bring headphones. Got coffee and a snack in the morning and got outta there. Although the free shuttle is convenient, it’s not exactly easy or on time. Driver was nice but stressed. I would recommend this place for families with kids (there’s a pool and lots of space to run around) or a solo traveller who doesn’t mind noise. I’ll try another hotel next time.
