Pros:

The free bus to and from airport

Cons:

It was dirty, curtains not hung properly, thick dust on and by skirting boards. Had to ask for towels, no mattress protector on one of the beds, broken windows latch.. You had to scan to come in via front door but then other doors were open, so really anyone could walk in. Very dated, not worth what I paid via booking.com 140 but felt ok paying 86 on second visit via online booking with hotel.

Pros:

Bus transfer available to motel.

Cons:

There were no towels for shower, no hand towel, no dishcloth. The bed was itchy to sleep in. One heater, the legs were cardboard taped around to hold it upright, although it was still on a lean. Didnt use it, looked unsafe.
