Ok for 1 night if you’re stuck and have no where else to go except sleep at the airport in a chair.
Pros:

It was clean

Cons:

The bed was too soft, it was like sleeping on an air mattress. If you went to close to the edge it would collapse and you’d roll off. Our room also smelt musty and damp, and the second room we had smelt of cigarettes.
