Met my needs well.

This hotel was perfect for my very short one night stay. It was very close to the airport and quite comfortable. I left too early to have breakfast so I am unable to review that.

Staff is great - it's just the silly policies. Still using Covid as an excuse 5 years later, they do not clean or make up your room.

One of the worst hotel stays we have ever had. The hotel is old and everything about it says old. The room was sparse and dingy. I would not recommend it to anyone. Please read this review before you make your booking. Definitely not worth the money
