I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which is conveniently located near the airport and offers free airport transfers, even early in the morning. The rooms are clean and modern, providing a comfortable experience. However, it's a bit far from the city center, and I found the breakfast options to be quite limited. Overall, the value for money is decent, but there's room for improvement in the dining area.
