Unfortunate experience, will stay elsewhere next time
Pros:

Convenient location

Cons:

1.) Food quality poor, expensive. 2.) Confirmed arrangements for early airport shuttle with reception (twice). However, shuttle driver seemed unaware, initially refused, eventually begrudgingly took me to airport when I said I would gladly take an Uber instead. Very unpleasant experience.
