Only advantage is closeness to airport. Otherwise hotel needs a lot of improvement.
Pros:

The only advantage is the closeness to the airport. Staff was courteous.

Cons:

Cleanliness was not to the mark. Smelly rooms. AC not working properly. Only one WiFi machine was available for the whole hotel. Sometimes customers and sometimes staff used to shift it floor to floor.

Bad.
Pros:

A total shithole, they rent rooms by the hour and half hour. The room smelt strongly of tobacco, high strength cleaning products and arse. The room had weird filthy stains on the concrete, looked like dried blood. The beds were like two pallets in a prison. The door was hard to lock and unlock and it was super noisy, I was just outside the reception

Cons:

Everything. Cesspit.
