this was the perfect place to stay for one night before an early flight. It was clean, basic and had a very reliable free airport shuttle running hourly from 4am-midnight, or for a small fee if you need it between midnight and 4am.

Great place to stay! Highly recommend!

Staff were efficient, kind, welcoming. Rooms and bathrooms were clean and well kept. Stayed in a dorm, other guests were polite and quiet. I felt safe and secure in the compound and in the rooms. Breakfast was great and just what I needed at 7a before I left for the airport. Coffee was great! Thank you so much! Would definitely stay there again.
