"The hotel was nice and clean and super convenient to the airport. The whole staff was very friendly, but we especially enjoyed conversing with Fernando. My wife and I had a wonderful dinner in the restaurant, and Fernando was our waiter. He was very friendly and made us feel right at home (like we have been friends for years even though we just met). Thank you."
