Hotel felt neglected. Booked it because of its proximity to airport as our flight arrived late in evening so wanted something close. Staff lacked communication and was charged for an extra night we didn’t stay. When I tried to have it corrected we receded no response from the hotel.

I am writing to formally express my disappointment regarding the conditions during my recent stay at this hotel. At check-in, we were informed that there would be a scheduled water shutdown lasting approximately 1–2 hours. However, water service was still unavailable more than an hour beyond the scheduled time. This caused significant inconvenience, especially after a long day of travel. When water service was finally restored that evening, we discovered that there was no hot water available for showering. I contacted the front desk, and while the staff apologized, I was told that there was nothing they could do other than offer a discount. Lack of access to water and hot water are basic amenities that guests reasonably expect, and this situation significantly impacted the comfort and quality of our stay. The response provided did not adequately address the inconvenience we experienced.

Very comfortable hotel. Location was great: just a few minutes from the airport! Room was big and clean. Receptionists were excellent: Kayla, Shayla and Emil. Service room was very good. Breakfast was pretty good: Yolanda provided excellent service; but the other employee had a bad attitude: I asked her to warm the water to make a tea and she refused to do it ("do it by yourself" -she said). In general, my wife and I enjoyed our stay there.
