This hotel is absolutely worth the stay. It has access to everything you need, or within walking distance. Beautiful, clean and well managed. The hot breakfast is incredible, with many options. Also restaurants for lunch or dinners. Which is nice when you don't know the area well. The staff was extremely kind and bilingual. Unfortunately, there is no airport shuttle. However, they were able to get us a taxi quite quickly that was clean and professional.
