"Great location near the airport and Imago shopping mall, also right out the front door lots of options for food and snacks. Room was really nice and spacious and bathroom was modern with large shower with great water pressure. Everything was very clean. Bed was ok, too hard for my liking. It was a bit of a maze and a little confusing to get from lobby to ur room and back again. Was great for one night stop over and would stay again. Definitely check it out."
