We thought the staff was especially friendly! The location was close to the airport and easy to get to. The biggest perk was the price! The place was inexpensive, clean, nice beds, and quiet. We stayed at this hotel at the beginning of our trip and at the end of our trip in separate rooms. The place is a bit run down. We could not open our door to our room. We repeatedly had to go downstairs to have the card rekeyed. This happened in both rooms. The showers are slow draining, and an little rickety, but again clean and hot. The lighting in the room was poor, however the layout was very nice! They were remodelling while we visited, so the efforts are being made. Another thing, when I booked through expedia the hotel offered an airport shuttle. This was a HUGE perk. When I arrived and called for the shuttle, the hotel told me they discontinued this service 2 months ago. When you add the UBER drive to the hotel and back the hotel is about the same or more than others nearby.

We stayed at this hotel for 6 nights and one never came to offer us room service or even exchange our towels (had to ask for clean towels twice), we specifically asked for the room cleaning services (which was offered to us at the time of check-in) at the counter and even though they acknowledge our request, they never came. While the property itself and its locations were ok, the service was severily lacking.

It is under renovations. But still need to put up a plan to maintain the building after the renovations. IE, paint, room conditions, bathrooms. Simple things, as for example, I asked for a "Do not Disturb" sign, but they didn't had one of those.

Over all a good hotel. But make sure you call the hotel and make sure their renovations are done so that your key card would work. Had to go down stairs 4 to 5 times to change my key cards in 1 day.

La propiedad está en remodelación hasta Marzo 2025, por eso hay un poco de polvo y ruido diariamente incluyendo fines de semana. La habitación asignada estaba bastante moderna, pero en el baño no estaba terminado. Me parece que le falta seguridad, ya que se podía entrar y salir a cualquier hora sin necesidad de identificación. Un día en la mañana temprano había una pareja gritando fuerte en el pasillo. Al entrar el personal de recepción no está muy visible, deben estar sentados mas altos o el counter ser un poco mas bajito para que le den la bienvenida a los clientes al llegar. Aunque incluye desayuno, las opciones eran muy limitadas. Por el momento para quedarse una noche, está bien, ya que está cerca del aeropuerto.

The property lookds nothing like the pictures. Dirty and run down. We struggled to get the key to work every time we tried to enter the room. People were cooking in their rooms. It smelled like fried fish. Would not stay here ever again.
