The room and facilities were disappointing for the price. The bathroom was nice, but the only real positive was the hotel’s location near the airport, which saved travel time.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
lovely staff, nice little room, ceiling fan cools you down and dries your clothes, nice common area - lounge, piano, guitar, ping-pong table, etc. Walkable to the airport. 10-15mins walk. Only downside: I had a super noisy group of 4 young people talking and giggling in the lounge and the hallway at night after 11 pm, and there was no one to stop them. The rooms have open windows at the top, so not really soundproof.

Affordable, good location, good amenities, friendly and helpful staff. Room was a little warm, fan and planes were a bit noisy, but I can sleep through anything. For the good value, you have to compromise on something.
