The room was very clean. The lady at the counter was polite and helpful. The furniture in the room was horribly worn and battered.

The airport shuttle is limited to 5-10am and 5-10pm even though check-in starts at 3pm. We had to take a taxi after our flight landed at 3pm.

Don't waste your money!

Crappy hotel in a crappy location. Bare minimum room with terrible lighting, zero sink counter space, transportation with minimum operating hours. Not especially clean.

Close to public transport train and bus. There was no shuttle bus service at times, no access to drinking water as vending machine not working and machine with water only available for breakfast. No fridge in the room, limited room to place luggage.

Absurd parking policy

Charging travelers $12 to park in their own parking lot is absurd. Not clearly posting that there’s a charge for parking (not free) is ridiculous.

Comfortable place to stay during an overnight layover. Close to the airport with shuttles running pretty often. I appreciated that I was able to grab breakfast at 6am before my morning flight.
