Great value for money.
I love that for a 3 star hotel, it has a gym and pool to use. Good location as it’s close to the airport with a comfortable and spacious room.

Nightmare booking
Got to the hotel and they said they did not have a room because they were overbooked even though I made the reservation on Hotels.com. Had to find another hotel at a much higher rate.

Keep looking
This hotel was old, bug crawling across the floor when we checked walked in. Room keys jankey had to go to lobby 3 times and a sweet employee helped me get into our room. I give them a half a star for rooms and 4 stars for a decent breakfast and the good customer service.

Bathrooms could use some work but the rooms are very spacious and the front desk was quick and easy. Lots of food options nearby

Good for an overnight stay
Lovely renovated hotel, very clean and comfortable. The only issues were with key cards that did not work for a number of guests, including myself. There were people also hanging out in the hallway having a conversation, and the sound really carried loudly.

Kenneth, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was friendly and for a small fee was able to check us in early. We were coming off a cruise and wanted something clean, close to airport and with dining options. The location was quiet for being just a few min from flights and had plenty of restaurants nearby.

10/10 Exceptional

Easy, quick and very friendly staff
Jose, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good for one night
The hotels seems to have gone through some renovations but it’s not tip top. The shower had rust in the tub, saw tiny roaches, the bed smelled like someone had slept in it and the sheets and curtains had stains. Overall the floors and towels were clean and bed well made. But proximity to the airport is a plus.

False advertisement
We stayed here because they advertised shuttle service to and from the airport.When we arrived , we were told they no longer did shuttle service. Cost in taxis was over $50.00.USD We would not have stayed there if we knew in advance.
