I had a decent stay at this hotel, especially considering its fantastic location close to the airport, making transfers super easy. The complimentary shuttle service was a big plus. The rooms, while clean, were a bit cramped and struggled with the heat despite having air conditioning. Overall, it’s a good option for a short stay, but not ideal for longer stretches.

Our stay was a mixed bag. The hotel is conveniently close to the airport, making it easy for early flights. While the spacious bathroom was a plus, the room itself felt cramped and warm, which affected our comfort. There are some nice conveniences nearby, and the staff was mostly friendly, despite a little inconsistency in service quality.

I had a great experience at this hotel during my three-night stay. The complimentary airport pick-up and drop-off was a big plus, making travel super convenient. The staff really went out of their way to ensure we had what we needed, which I genuinely appreciated. The only downside was that the room was a bit small for our group size, but they quickly accommodated us by switching to a larger room. Overall, it's a solid choice for budget travelers looking for clean and comfortable accommodations.
