The room was cold and musty at first. I figured out how to turn on the heat which helped with temperature but the musty smell remained. I asked for another room and the next room also had a musty smell and the floor had a big stain. The breakfast was nice and the service staff were kind. It's close to the airport.

Beautiful buildinf, esp. the terrace building/restaurant one. The interior of the rooms are soon due for upgrade to more modern feeling but it serves it's purpose as a stopover resting stop. I would return.
