Old hotel, but close to the airport
Pros:

Location close to airport. Parking is free.

Cons:

Bad neighbourhood, almost scary, especially if arriving at night. Located above a casino. Very basic, dated hotel. "5 dollars for a room" vibe. Expect that it costs 170 dollars.... price/quality ratio is terrible.
