Práctico
Pros:

Lo que más nos gustó fue el salón del desayuno, era muy agradable, en cuanto a la comida tenia un poco de todo y el personal muy atento.
La ubicación ideal al estar a pocos metros de la terminal, para esos vuelos tardíos o muy tempranos.

Cons:

Lo que nos falló fue el sofá cama de la habitación triple, tenía un colchón bastante incómodo. Después de varias horas de vuelo lo que más se agradece es un buen descanso y uno de nosotros no pudo tenerlo.
