During my stay here, I found the hotel to be adequate for a short stopover, but nothing more. The commute from the airport was quite long, and the dining options were disappointing. While the hotel served its purpose as a place to rest, I wouldn’t recommend staying for more than a night as there are better alternatives in the city.

The hotel served its purpose well for a quick stay, especially during a long stopover. While I appreciated having a place to shower and rest, the location is quite far from the airport and the dining experience was quite disappointing. The staff could use some improvements in service, as my experience wasn't overly positive.

The hotel served its purpose for a brief stopover, but it definitely had its downsides. The location is quite far from the airport, adding to the travel time. While the rooms were adequate for a short stay, the service left much to be desired, and the dining experience was disappointing with limited options. Overall, it's just an okay place to crash for the night, but not for a longer stay.

I stayed at this hotel during a long layover, and while it was functional for my needs, it definitely had its downsides. The hotel is far from the airport, and the service left much to be desired, particularly with the lack of basic amenities. On the bright side, I did get a shower and a chance to rest, which was helpful for my journey. Overall, it's suitable for an overnight stay, but I wouldn't recommend it for anything longer.
