I definitely don't think for the price the room really lived up to it. The walls were paper thin, so you could hear everything, and I'm not sure if the room had just been updated, but there was tape still on the door from painting. There were no curtains to keep the sun out, the lamp had stains on the shade, and the room kind of smelled like cigarettes, even though it was a no-smoking room. Other than that, the breakfast was kind of lacking, but the mattress was super comfortable. Good location if you need to stay to get to the airport.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I don’t normally write bad reviews but feel compelled to do it to make other travelers aware and in hope that this property does something to improve. We were looking for a one night stay to catch a connecting flight the next day and just wanted a comfortable and clean place to stay the night. This property is very dated from the outside and inside and even a bit eerie. It was noisy, the blinds would not fully close, not all the lights worked, the air unit was very loud, the shower door didn’t close, and the sheets and towels were old. Expedia should be aware that the pictures of this property are way off from reality and this is false advertising. The staff was friendly and the driver that took us to the airport was very nice. However, I would never stay there again or recommend anyone to stay either.

Horrible hotel. There was no hot water, there were dead bugs in the room, and the carpet smelled. The hotel falsely advertised how the room actually looks. I do not recommend anyone to stay here. We went to the Rose Hotel by the airport and that hotel was worth the stay. Again, do not stay at this motel.

It’s a good hotel but it definitely can use more love. Sheets and bed have stains but nothing crazy yet when I went to ask for new sheets they didn’t have any at all because they were sold out but as a hotel you should always have extra sheets, towels and all that. They do have amazing housekeeping people because they leave the door open while they clean and they do their best but they can’t do much when the sheets, towels etc. they have to use are stained. Shower was clogging as well. The trim in the bathroom was broken so restroom door wouldn’t stay closed. Other than that comfortable bed, AC works amazing and cool parking.

Convenient location to train station and airport. Friendly and helpful staff. Room was good sized with dining area and equipped with all the conviences. Unfortunately the hot water was not working the night we stayed and the tub was a little cringy (not sure if I would have wanted to use it even if there had been hot water). Bed was clean and comfortable and a safe place to crash before catching an early flight.
