4/5 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Had to wait 2 hrs for a room at check in. Supposedly something happened so they gave me another room than the one I was schedule to have. The hotel wasn’t even busy. Good thing is that they renovated the elevators Also now the shuttle service starts at 6;00am, so I had to pay for my taxi to the airport( but the price was good)
