The location is situated perfectly in proximity to whichever transportation you decide to take. Although it was very close to the airport the noise control in our room was good. Those are the few worth mentioning of the positive side and on the negative side are many to out weigh the positives. We booked for two rooms, but got a room with 2 beds and double doors that was supposed to separate the beds. The doors did not work making my stay extremely uncomfortable. The toiletries were not sufficient for our weekend stay. Over priced for a room with double beds. Staff was not friendly at all by far my worst place I have stayed at.
