The courtesy bus stopped quite early. It would be great if its hours were extended to 10 pm.
Super nice interior, very friendly staff, and an unbeatable price-performance ratio for the location.

Swimming pool and gym not included with a higher additional price. They should be included. We chose this hotel for the gym and pool. Breakfast served only until 9:30 am. For this large hotel, it should be served at least until 10:00.
