Great location, comfortable hotel
This hotel is in a great location - within very short walking distance of two shopping malls with plenty of shops and restaurants.
The breakfast at the restaurant is a full buffet and will fill you up for a full day of whatever you have planned.
The only drawback was the large school group that stayed at the hotel during the final night of our stay and made a lot of noise and disturbed our sleep during the night.
