The courtesy bus stopped quite early. It would be great if its hours were extended to 10 pm.

Cleanliness, room size, buffet breakfast selection.

Cleanliness, room size, buffet breakfast selection.

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.
