Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
From the outside its an ultra modern hotel, but that is the mirage created for the owners glossy website and adverts. It has a skin of mirror windows and new cladding on a dilapidated vey old hotel. This is only visible from the inside looking out. But food is great, staff very friendly and beds comfortable.

Very convenient - look for the InterCon hotel and then go to the back to find the shuttle. The staff are very kind and respectful. Buffet breakfast was decent. Room was a bit dated but everything worked fine. Can't go anywhere on foot, even back to the airport. Good place for an overnight stay.
