Pros:

I like how convenient it was to local shops and close to the motorway. The towel racks were broken, there was no extra towels provided as I did mention that. Please check and fix towel racks. And more floor towels, it gets wet in the shower.

Pros:

The price

Cons:

The name of the hotel when I booked wasn't the name of the hotel when I got there which was confusing. The room was freezing. Facilities were clean but very old and run-down. The free shuttle didn't run all night, unfortunately. There weren't enough covers on the bed for the temperature and there were no extra blankets available.

No vengan!!!!
Pros:

Nada, no justifica que esté cerca del aeropuerto ni el traslado.

Porque encima cuando le avisaron al chófer de micro que tenía gente, se olvidó y siguió de largo. Y el siguiente no paro tampoco, lo tuve que "pedir" de nuevo, pero si te pasó algo y andas justo de tiempo no es confiable

Cons:

Por favor no vengan, es preferible pagar un poco más con el transporte e ir al centro u otro lado.

Las fotos engañan mucho a lo que es en realidad, lo único bueno que hubo es el fotógrafo se vé.

Olor a humedad, iluminación tétrica, pelos en la cama, si te moves mucho en la cama se prende y apaga el velador (por lo menos es contactless), y la atención no es completamente mala, pero sin hacer ni un comentario y siempre con buena actitud para con los que trabajan acá sentís que les molesta que les estés hablando.

Cometí el error de no leer las reseñas la verdad y es mi culpa, pero no entiendo las reseñas positivas que encontré.

Absolutely disgusting
Pros:

Absolutely nothing

Cons:

The photos are NOT of this place. It was dark, dingy, cold, smelt bad and absolutely filthy. I took a loss on my money and checked out within 30 minutes into a much nicer hotel. I could not stay there. I felt unsafe as a solo female traveller and felt like it was a rent by the hour hotel. Do not recommend this place to anyone. I only wish I had taken photos.

Pros:

Easy access to the airport

Cons:

- Only a stand alone heater that essentially didnt work, during winter.
- front door was locked and had to use a key to to get in, which I thought was great. Until I realised every other entrance/door was open for ANYONE to walk in
