Below average hotel

Several issues with my room, most important being no hot water or wifi as they have stated in their ad. They also say they have an airport shuttle for 15USD each way, that is incorrect as the guy changed his mind and charged me 25USD. Would never recommend this hotel, you're better off paying an extra $5 somewhere else.

Nice place to stay

The shuttle waited patiently for us while we bought our visa and waited to get our luggage at the airport. The staff were friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Breakfast was great.
