The hotel was conveniently close to the airport, about a twenty-minute drive, which I found really helpful after our long flight. Security measures at the hotel impressed me. Multiple levels existed outside and inside before accessing rooms. The room also had a safe, which gave me additional peace of mind. I felt very secure .
