"Selected for convenience for a late night flight arrival. Considering late check ins are common, perhaps this could be speeded up a little as everyone is very tired! Staff not the friendliest but this is a high turnover hotel so understandable. Otherwise exactly what was needed for the situation. Price of mineral water a little unreasonable."
"Unfortunately, I don’t have any good experience about staying at this place. I arrived a day later it was early in the morning, I was super tired due to my flight delays. When I arrive at the property, this weirdo guy who works night shift. He’s not helpful at all. He shouldn’t be employed in a hospitality business!! I understand that he doesn’t speak English, but his action as a human being should be nice! My recommendation is for you all don’t waste your time and money staying at this place!"
