I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were modern and clean, which I really appreciated. However, the service left a lot to be desired, as communication was a bit of a struggle. The location was okay if you have a car, but the cleanliness of the surrounding area wasn't great. Dining was another letdown, as the breakfast options were quite limited. Overall, it had its ups and downs, making it an average stay.

My stay at the hotel was surprisingly pleasant, with clean and comfortable rooms that exceeded my expectations for an airline accommodation. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially one guy named Billal, who really stood out with his customer service skills. However, the limited dining options didn't quite live up to the five-star reputation, and the location wasn’t ideal for exploring, with some cleanliness issues outside. Overall, it's a decent place but has room for improvement.

The hotel had some great points, like the friendly staff and a comfortable atmosphere. However, the rooms had a strong cigarette smell despite being labeled non-smoking, and the overall cleanliness could use a bit of attention.

The hotel has a clean and spacious atmosphere, but I found the rooms to smell a bit smokey. The location, while near the airport, is quite far from the city center and situated in an industrial area with not much to see or do. The service was lacking, especially with responses to requests.
