Stayed here so I can go to the airport to catch an early flight. Very spacious, clean and pretty. A lot of space to hang around or do work. Has a nice kitchen to store food. However, sleeping at night does get hot. Not too walkable to city center. They need to put a bigger sign to show where the check in is. ##### Conny Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Mario 20 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities Did not get what I paid.
