Needs updating.
Pros:

Great location.

Cons:

Staff was kind but offered the least possible assistance. They offered “hot”water in the lobby which was as luke warm. I asked if they had hot water and told me to go next door (small office with the lights off)to use the microwave. There is 1 microwave available for the entire hotel. Parking is extra. TV stopped working in the morning before our check out time. No hand soap in the sink. Had to go in the shower to use the soap attached to the shower wall every time we need to wash our hands.

Pros:

Good space and clean

Cons:

Noise all day from the airport and couldn't sleep at night. The windows (not double paned) didn't block the noise. Also nowhere to get drinking water on site.
