pool area breakfast buffet public transportation airport pick-up
the pool area was a definite highlight of my stay. i found the breakfast buffet offered a good selection of items each morning, from pastries to eggs. the hotel provided easy access to public transportation. i appreciated the helpful airport pick-up service arranged through the hotel! though
