It was conveniently located to the airport, just across the street which was super nice...the front desk staff is very lovely. It's a bit older property and that does show in the decor and room wear-and-tear. The AC in the rooms didn't blow cold air sadly, but the shower water pressure is great. The waitress in the restaurant was very unpleasant and the food was meh. Overall, if it's a quick one night stay, it's fine.
