Amazing Stay, A Solid Choice!

helpful staff outdoor pool huge shopping mall

I stayed here for three nights, and the staff made a great effort. Furkan helped ensure my stay was relaxing. I found the outdoor pool appealing. The shopping mall across the street was very convenient.

The TV in my room lacked international channels. I only had access to Turkish channels. This limitation was a bit disappointing .
