Lovely hotel. Room was clean and comfortable and the staff were very helpful I stayed here as a solo female and the area around the hotel is not the greatest. I took an Uber from the airport but otherwise I walked which is ok during the day but I would be reluctant to do this at night. Be aware of this, but the hotel itself is great
