Buen hotel para una noche de escala
Pros:

Estaba cerca del aeropuerto y buena atención del front desk.

Cons:

La pieza y baño podría haber sido más grande. El baño no tenía separación con la pieza por lo que era todo unido.
Al ser un hotel para una noche cerca del aeropuerto no importa tanto, pero no lo usaría para más días.

Convenient and comfortable spot for an overnight layover at the airport.
Pros:

It was a very convenient location with a reliable shuttle bus that picked us up from the airport bus terminal and delivered us directly to the hotel. Great spot if you're doing an overnight layover. Room included some tea which was nice.

Cons:

My booking didn't include breakfast but it was offered as an additional option. Otherwise, not much to dislike for such a short overnight stay.

The stay was pleasant and convenient to the airport as there is a shuttle that runs every 30 minutes
Pros:

It will be good to have racks near the bathroom and the sink.
A soap dispenser will be handy if you are providing solid soap. Liquid soap will be preferable as it's less messy. The shower area only has one liquid that is shower, shampoo and conditioner, that's one size fits all which is not applicable for everyone, first time I have encounter one bottle for all.

Cons:

No racks near the shower and basin.
