"The hotel location was great. Close to bus stop #2 and 10 minute walk from the bus terminal. 40 minutes from the international airport. Clean hotel. Annex rooms were big but not black out curtains. The shower was hot but they need a glass door to keep the water in. The beds were extremely comfortable and the breakfast was terrific. The hotel bar was nice. No early check in. Staff was great."
