"I had a very good stay overall. The hotel is clean, offers a great breakfast, has reasonable rates, and the airport shuttle service is excellent. The only downside was the housekeeping service, which needs improvement. The room trash was left uncleaned, and we didn't receive enough towels. Aside from this, everything was wonderful. Better attention to detail in housekeeping would make this a five-star stay!"
