"This hotel is very close to the airport and with their free regular shuttle service is always our choice. Spacious clean rooms in a large hotel with free wifi, luggage storage, pool and spacious rooms. Could be more loungers by the pool as 8 for a hotel this size is insufficient. Also pool is a little dated now. Overall though good hotel and value for money. Love you can get late check outs."
