"The property is beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. The staff are excellent, friendly, and helpful. It’s a short taxi ride into town and moments from the airport of course. I used the Hotel shuttle. I had my mother and my aunt, both in wheelchairs, and the driver was so helpful with them. I highly recommend this hotel!"
