8/10 Very good

Very nice hotel, close to the airport, convenient shuttle service, employees are very friendly and helpful. My only criticism is the rooms are not set up for travelers from North America. Not a single USB port to charge electronics in the room. Unless you have international travel adaptors, you are pretty much toast.
