Pros +

  • Very kind and receptive staff
  • Nice, clean room. Good breakfast. Close to public transportation.
  • The hotel staff made Transportation arrangements from the hotel to the airport assuring me a taxi would be waiting for me at the arrange time.

Cons -

  • The room they gave me did not have a shower curtain in the bathroom. When I took a shower water went everywhere and if I did not put a towel in front of the door, Water would have definitely went into the main room. They said they could not do anything.
  • No
  • My room was colder than the coridor! Room was so cold and noisy. The room AC is probably 20 years old. It was just blowing air - not hot air. Additionally, the room was next to some kind of equipment which was making noise all the time.
