The hotel seemed very nice, though had an unpleasant surprise on the last evening when we found some little bugs on the bed, they turned out to be bed bugs and i was fully feasted on for the 2 evenings. A week later and im still itchy, we did report and supplied a dead bug when we checked out. Hopefully they can resolve as its a nice modern hotel with loads of parking.

Room was fine, bed was very uncomfortable and the elastic on the mattress protector was broken meaning the under sheet was wrinkled and came away from the mattress. Overhead light constantly flickered. Swimming pool was lovely, reception helpful and welcoming. Breakfast plentiful.

Functional hotel, quite good location towards the airport. Maybe a bit outdated, but alright to stay for a night. Breakfast is in another building. Swimming pool is in the nearby hotel, which is good, but the info should be provided by reception.

Just great quality

Just great hotel: excellent price quality rating. Good beds, basic but good bathroom. Parking place you need to pay a fee. Swimming pool you also re charged extra. Location is great at one of the main roads around the city, shopping center nearly. Location is also quiet (even with the road nearby).

Great value

Perfect hotel for the price, friendly staff at reception. Hotel does not have a pool however, which I find interesting since pictures are included in the Hotels.com page and facilities also mention a pool (and I double checked the hotel info in the app after asking reception for it).

The hotel overall is nice, clean and the staff was super friendly. However, what surprised me was that the pool was for an additional fee. I do not know if Orbitz forgot to mention about it or the hotel. Also, no mini fridge in the room was unacceptable. Breakfast was tasty but pricey. The location is quite good, close to mall and convivence stores. Also, be prepare to pay for the parking lot.

Somewhat far from the old town

The hotel was very good, but they would charge extra for using the pool. The mini bar was more like a box for storing things. It would never cool. The service desk was usually empty. We had to ring the bell for assistance. It was very far from the old town. Once in the old town, it was very hard to find a parking spot.
