There doing construction on the property. The rooms facing the back of the property have to deal with noise, very dirty construction area and local construction workers walking constantly back and forth past your window. Guests should be warned to not request the rooms with the city view. I had to switch rooms 3 times during my stay.

The hotel is a good option for a one-night stay due to its great location near the airport. However, the air conditioning didn’t cool well, and the beds were quite hard. It’s convenient, but not the most comfortable for a longer stay.
