Didn't really get the sleep needed but got us to the flight on time.
Pros:

It is close to the airport and is the only one that is relatively affordable.

Cons:

It was very noisy with the humming of equipment and the movement of people staying at all hours. The rooms are like being in a caravan and feel very cramped with strange bathrooms.
