"We liked the bus stop tight out front. We didn’t like the lack of info to get from the airport to the hotel and ended up walking with all of our luggage. The meals were supposed to be 1/2 board but the credit provided towards meals wasn’t enough to cover but one or two of the choices. The food itself was good. Very nice premises."
