Categories

Cleanliness
3.5
Multiple reviews mention trash around the property, rooms not being clean, an unlocked room door and a report of bed bugs — cleanliness is a clear weakness.
Service
9
Staff and management are repeatedly praised (helpful front desk, exceptional manager assistance, reliable shuttle service); isolated negatives (e.g., a staff member with strong body odor) were rare.
Location
8
Consistently praised for proximity to the airport and convenience, but frequently affected by traffic noise and a congested/street-noisy setting.
Room Quality
6
Many guests reported comfortable beds and some immaculate, spacious rooms; however small bathrooms, noise from remodeling, an unlocked door incident and the bed bug report lower this score.
Amenities
7.5
Useful amenities like a free airport shuttle, onsite snacks/drinks/ice cream and decent breakfast/coffee are noted; breakfast hours can be short and some guests missed it.
Value for Money
7
Several guests called it good value given location and amenities, though others described the property as a superficial renovation or 'dump,' producing mixed perceptions of value.
Food and Beverage
7
Breakfast is described as decent to good and coffee is noted as very good; coverage/availability varied (some guests missed breakfast).
Overall Experience
6.4
Mixed overall: many guests would return and praised service and convenience, while others experienced serious cleanliness or noise problems that made their stays negative.

Don't Do It
Pros:

Not much

Cons:

I couldn't sleep in this dive motel even with earplugs. It seems that the street it's on is popular with the idiots that like to drive loudly. My room was way to close to the road. What a nightmare.

When I arrived at the lobby to get my shuttle, which I had confirmed not once but twice, the whole place was locked. As I was trying to order an Uber, finally someone appeared to drive me to the airport. His body odor was so bad I almost choked, and dude, I went to a liberal arts college. Wtf

Great place to stay for a night after a long 24 hour flight. Staff were helpful with a very comfortable room. Good value
Pros:

Very close to the airport, comfortable room and bed, plenty of hot water with good shower. Free shuttle back to the airport and a small selection of drinks, snacks, ice cream etc on site. Breakfast was decent but closes at 9.30.

Cons:

Nothing really.

Bon séjour tout près de l'aéroport
Pros:

La chambre était très propre et l'emplacement de l'hotel est imbattable. Le personnel est également très serviable. En revanche, l'insonorisation laisse un peu à désirer. Bon petit déjeuner !

Cons:

L'insonorisation n'est pas formidable.

I want a refund. I have pictures of the trash and food area.
Pros:

Nothing, Trash everywhere and sketchy people everywhere.

Trash everywhere. when I got to my room, the door was opened. It wasn’t even locked and trash was still outside the door of the room.

I recommend this hotel as it is close to the airport you can safely leave your car there.
Pros:

I left too early to have breakfast, although the coffee was very good. The front desk was extremely helpful communicating especially the Shuttle that arrived to pick me up when I returned.
