Pros:

The first night, the receptionists helped me with courage and care.

Cons:

The bar is annoying, staffs are indispline, and the servers delivered food an hour late, around 11 pm. And they came to pick up dirty dishes the next day after 2 pm. It is very hard to sleep due to too much noise from the bar. They say the bar close 11 pm but you can hear noise even after 12, 1 pm

Funcional pero decepcionante.
Pros:

Cama funcional y la habitación estaba limpia.

Cons:

Desayuno pobre.

No había toalla en el baño.

He tenido que solicitar la factura 5 veces y tras amenazarlos con denunciarlos a Booking me la ha enviado.

Solicité servicio de lavandería y me perdieron parte de la ropa, el resto me la dieron mojada a pesar de que informé que volaría pronto y la necesitaría seca.

Disappointing
Pros:

Location is convenient for the airport and new building is very nice and clean

Cons:

My email exchange with the hotel and confirmation clearly stated what I had booked, times of arrival and departure and the price. I paid on arrival and the next morning I was told that I had to pay another $10 for the airport transfer because I wanted drop off. They said only pick up was free, despite what was stated in their confirmation email.
10pm checkout was also included in the confirmation email but I was told that I had to pay an additional $44.
Mistakes can happen but if this was a mistake on their part, there was no apology and I left with an 11 hr wait at the airport.
They said that the email from the Martin Aviator Reservation Manager via Booking.com must have come from someone else!
