Liked: Staff & service
Friendly staff, clean rooms, not suitcase friendly. We arrived at the hotel after a long flight, the staff were very friendly and helpful, however informed us we were on the third floor and there was no elevator. With us having several suitcases from the flight this was very inconvenient. I would expect most people coming from the airport would have luggage and not expect to climb several flights of stairs to get this to the room

Economically priced, right at the airport.

Budget hotel right next to the airport. If you live a long way from the airport and you have an early flight, this economically priced room fits the bill very well.
