You can find better.
Pros:

Friendly staff, close to airport

Cons:

Pricing, $329 for a night for a basic room.. Filthy air-conditioning filter, dead bugs in the room all over side tables and bed head.
Noisy extractor fan in bathroom on a sensor and would run for a long time after exiting bathroom.
Long walk to room on a poorly lit up road and also poorly signed.

Restaurant is priced a bit high for a steak with one potato and mushroom.

Convenient for a short stay before departure
Pros:

It is very close to the airport, making it convenient for a short stay before departure. It also offers a shuttle bus service to the airport. The water pressure in the shower is very strong.

Cons:

There were ants around the tables. While this is understandable given the natural surroundings, it was still a little unpleasant. It would also be helpful to provide a luggage rack.
