"We were pleasantly impressed by the quality of the room, lobby decor, and very varied and good breakfast. The room was very quiet in spite of the hotel being so close to the airport. Bus 512, which stops a few yards from the entrance of the hotel, took us back and forth to and from the airport and was very convenient and fairly priced, which made it quite easy for us. The only problem that we found is that the rugs in the hallways and in our room were quite stained and need a good cleaning. Otherwise, everything else was nice and well maintained."
