Good stay, convenient to airport
"Good stay. Location near airport as well as shopping and restaurants. Beds and pillows very comfortable; didn’t use pool or fitness center; left before breakfast. Room was noisy—lots of motorcycles and traffic noise, as well as fridge. But otherwise, fine stay at a good price."
