So this is a budget property. Does what it says on the tin. A/c in room is fine - bed comfy - rooms small - bathroom even smaller. Like most of Casco no lifts to rooms. But for overnight - great location.

Property was very good, clean and better than expected. What was not good - The airport to hotel taxi arrangement was messed up. Taxi was sent to Terminal 1 even though my flight details were provided and landed in Terminal 2. Taxi company tried to contact the taxi driver. I tried to contact the taxi driver too but no response. Finally, after an hours wait, the taxi company apologized and asked me to catch an Uber.
