Overall, OK for one night. Staff was not present when arrived at 7PM. Rug in front of elevator had what appeared to be food scraps on it. Room was small, clean, but smelled of Clorox. Bathroom floor had cleaning product on part of it. Is close to airport. Friendly staff.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Lobby looked nice but the rest of the property looked run down. Our shower obviously wasn’t scrubbed because there were soap scum and the shampoo/soap holder was rusted out. The coffee maker was dirty as well…. Not to mention my in-laws were staying in a separate room and there’s literally had food on the floor and their coffee maker was dirty gross as well….

Light was intermittently turning on and off in the middle of the night. This was not resolved or compensated because my room was through Expedia. Had an 8 hr work day and 5 hr drive home to follow my restless evening.
