Pros:

We stayed here for one night before an early flight, and the location was very convenient, close to the airport. Free parking is a big plus. The staff were very friendly, the room itself was good, and the shower supplies were provided.

Cons:

What really disappointed me was the level of cleanliness. It honestly looked like the room had not been cleaned at all before our arrival, except for changing the bed linen and towels and quickly cleaning the bathroom. The floor was very dirty, with dust and other people’s hair still on it.
