Nice staff and a 24 hour restaurant in the lobby area. The food is pretty food too both off the menu and the complimentary breakfast. Plus, they offer a real quick shuttle ride to the airport.

Everything was excellent, the staff was nice and friendly. Check in and check out was very efficient. The only issue we had was the shower had a leak and so after taking a shower the entire bathroom would flood. We had a great experience with a lost item that we left in the room and the staff kept it safe for us until we were on our way back to the airport. Definitely recommend this place.

My wife and I stayed in the Royal Elim for one night upon late arrival at CLO. As far as I know, it's the only hotel at the airport, which is why we chose it. It's not very expensive, so I can't complain too much, but it's not too clean and has minimum amenities. The free breakfast also wasn't very good.
