a mixed experience near the airport

beautiful decorunclear signageuncomfortable beds
the downstairs decor was fine. it was very beautiful.
I found the signage for entry hard to see. I missed it. the one-way park system was a joke, with people illegally parked. the bedding and towels had a smell of cooking, and the beds were not comfortable at all.
