Good choice for a one night stay
Pros:

It suited our needs for an overlay at the airport. the room was ok for a night stay

Cons:

The room was not really clean. the bad had clean sheets which is the most important thing. but I guess this is specific to all budget hotels near an airport

Cons:

It was a good stay except the vacuuming at 9am, didn't appreciate that especially after a flight and a sleep in would have been nice. I understand the rooms need cleaning.....just a bit to early that's all.
