Very nice hotel, awesome staff. We had a very good relaxing time there just a little few hiccups, but not enough to not
Pros:

Located close to the airport

Cons:

not in walking distance to anything else.
Plus the first night we were there. They offered a free Uber to a certain restaurant, but didn’t let us know that it cut off at midnight, but we finally got them to come pick us back up but then to find out that that wasn’t supposed to have stopped until 2 AM so we went to do it again a different night and they said that they didn’t offer it anymore.
The continental breakfast needs help the eggs were OK. I’m assuming they were powdered eggs, but it was just eggs, potato and a meat with some other cereals and bagels and fruit, but it seemed like the website was misleading about the breakfast.

Pros:

The breakfast was always good, the food was always nice and hot and the staff made sure our cups didn't run out of coffee or tea. The hotel property was great. The location was a bit far for a 30 minutes drive but we didn't mind

Cons:

There is nothing I can say that I did not like. Everything was to my expectation. The lobby was always fulled with people either checking in or checking out. We enjoyed everthing at the hotel especially the restaurant and the food
