The included breakfast was off the menu, and absolutely delicious. We took advantage of walking the coffee trail every day we were there, a short stroll, but very relaxing.

Isabella

Great choice for a one night stay before/after flight! It does feel a bit outdated, but everything still looked nice and clean. I got my hopes up reading about the coffee trail, thinking it was a longer trail, but it is very short. It is definitely still worth experiencing, but keep in mind it only takes about 10minutes to get though. We had dinner out instead of trying to the restaurant, so I cannot comment on that. We also did not have AC in our room. It was fine, but I didn’t realize that when I booked it, so also make sure to check. The biggest benefit was free airport shuttles both ways!
