The beds were comfortable to sleep in .
Pros:

It was located near the water and the airport.

Cons:

The bathroom floors were not clean. I could see the floor had not been mopped in a while with the blotches of dirt on the floor. I was unsure if the toilet and the shower were clean being that the floors were filthy.

it was Ok. It could've been better
Pros:

AC keeps turning on and off and wasn't strong. It got too warm in the room and I woke up at 3am. I was supposed to get free breakfast. When i checked in, i was told that it wasn't part of my payment. Also the bathroom tub wasn't clean. I was only there for 1 night and i checked out early the next day.

Cons:

Description of what you're paying for was inaccurate. Cleanliness was ok. I had to pay for parking and I wasn't notified for this.

Cons:

Had to pay twice because booking.com website shifted dates during checkout and reservation was not for night i arrived. Literally booked 2 hours in advance of arrival- ended up paying at desk for separate reservation, no refund issued for initial erroneous booking. Will not be using booking as a companywide policy until resolved
