Adequate, but Some Disappointments

reasonable room sizeunhelpful staffbus problem

The room was a reasonable size and clean. It served its purpose for a short overnight stay before an early flight.

The staff seemed disinterested in helping with airport transfer information. The bus we were told to take never stopped for us. It seemed our luggage was the problem. This made getting to the terminal very stressful and delayed us significantly.
