First floor is a mezzanine and the elevator doesn't stop there. Have to backtrack down several stairs (with luggage). Bus stops almost at hotel door. Parking is difficult in... More

Hotel is very nice and relaxing, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The only down side is that its a bit from the city and is expensive on taxis to get in and out of the city. Relaxing if you want a quiet break.

We selected this hotel for its proximity to the airport, which it is very close to. As we were checking in, a giant senior citizens' tour group also arrived which made for some chaos in the lobby, but the staff seemed quite organized about it all. The rooms were pleasant, although if your room is on the third floor it... More
