Everything was nice. I didn't like the bathroom light, it was one of those motion sensor ones. It kept turning off after like 30 seconds so my showers were mainly with the light off.

It was close to the airport and was the cheapest. The room AC didn’t cool the room very well, and there were very few outlets accessible. We also had to plug in the mini fridge and wait for a few hours for it to cool down.

The hotel has definitely been renovated. Pros: no gross carpet, minimal furniture, quiet, very kind service people, cost. Cons: definitely needed more thorough cleaning (ie, hair in shower drain, stations from coffee spills on the walls and baseboards, finger prints on the door jambs). It was fine but not 8 out of 10 like so many are saying.

Do not show up before 3pm, first place to ever tell me to go wait. I could understand if they were super busy but the place was a ghost town. Bathroom light would switch off in the middle of your business and nowhere to place the soap in the shower. Other than that the rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. We probably will not use this hotel again.
