I should have known better than to book here.
Pros:

I liked the price of the room. It was cheap. However, you get what you pay for.

Cons:

The room had no air conditioning running before I went in so it was about 90 degrees when I walked in. The old air conditioner could not cool the room properly in that amount of time so it was hot my whole stay. Also the room was pretty dirty especially the bathroom. There was a splatter of some brown liquid on the door that wasn’t even dried up all the way.

Good value for the price.
Pros:

Proximity to airport. Not fancy hotel but good enough for sleeping one night. Nice service.

Cons:

They wanted to take extra Fer’s of 4% for using credit card even though it was clear all taxes and e few es were included. After a little dispute the receptionist “waived” this fee.

Exactly what I expected for the price. It was a safe location, close to airport, horrible pillows
Pros:

We only had about 5 hours and we wanted to sleep before our flight... so we were looking for an inexpensive local hotel that was close to the airport... so my expectations were not high. I just wanted to make sure it was a safe location and clean, which it was it actually had a spa shower, which surprised me... but because of the inexpensive price, the pillows were horrible and the bed was pretty hard... I was able to find one somewhat soft pillow other than that I would say if that's what you're looking for a great location really close to the airport.

Cons:

They really need to invest in better pillows

Pros:

Location was solid.

Cons:

I left a poor review on Google and the front desk operator quite literally called me to yell at me over the negative review. One of the more insane things I've experienced.
