airport drop-offcooking stationsoverwhelmed staffremote location

The hotel arranged a complimentary airport drop-off. The gym and steam room are open 24/7. The breakfast had live cooking stations and dinner was also good (i especially liked the variety). The room was very clean and had amenities.

I found only two reception staff at arrival. They seemed overwhelmed with guest arrivals and departures. This affected the quality of service. They also provided wrong information. The location is far from any entertainment or facilities.
