Stay was great. Hotel shuttle from airport was sketchy. Had to first call airport to find out where they were. Then old car that needed a boost picked us up.

Nice stay

Nice stay for business hotel. Restaurant is overpriced and area around hotel not great. I would recommend to stay in Karen if heading out that way but overall nice stay with descent facilities.
