Overpriced for what its worth. Hygiene levels are really poor and it should be a 1 or 2 star hotel.
Pros:

Always someone at reception.

Cons:

Bug/roach crawling from headboard. Random white dripping stains under the tv. Hair found in the shower before i stepped in there. Floor of bathroom wet when first entered. Random liquid on toilet seat when first opened. Shampoo bottle had a detached straw thing so nothing could be pumped out. Mould above shower space and peeling wallpaper. Inside of bathroom door was evidently irty/muddy/mouldy, im unsure as to what it was. As someone who is a housekeeper during the summer, it was clear some things were curved and cleaned quickly, like the floor was probably not vacuumed, especially in the bathroom. stains should be reported or wiped. The beds and/or room should be routinely checked for bed bugs/bugs in general from every other week or several weeks. Everything should be cleaned often. My university booked us for a week here in a separate booking and when we cancelled our booking after one night due to hygiene issues, i could see the room was cleaned, but not properly as my luggage was in the exact same space. To think they didn't move it to hoover or clean that area and was ready to rent that out to a guest speaks levels.

Pros:

They're so bold and comfy, and the price is just right. The hotel's decent, average price, and not too far from the airport. Good for a short stay.

Cons:

The room's tiny, just enough for two, and for the price, you can't really complain. A bigger mirror for my wife would be nice, though. You have to share the iron with other guests and go outside to use it. Also, parking's gonna be expensive since the hotel doesn't have its own spots and shares with other businesses nearby.
