the bar charged me double for some chips, and it was a huge problem to get it sorted. they wanted me to pay again and wait for a refund. also, room service was not good, i paid for chicken tenders, but they were cold and covered in some weird green stuff. i don't think its written on the menu or anything, it was a surprise.

Convenient and Clean Airport Stay

easy locationclean roomcomfy bed
The location is great. I walked to the airport easily. The room was clean and well presented. The bed was very comfy (I really slept well). I enjoyed a very nice dinner.
There was not much of a conversation about a concern I had at the front desk.
