I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is incredibly convenient, being right next to the airport, and the staff was friendly. However, the rooms left a lot to be desired as they weren't clean and had a few flies on the sheets. While the amenities were decent, the cleanliness was a real letdown, which affected my overall enjoyment.

The hotel is conveniently located near the airport and is quite close to a football stadium, making it easy to get around. While the rooms had a significant dust issue and lacked space, the service was friendly. The dining options were included, which is a nice touch, but the cleanliness of the rooms left much to be desired. Overall, it could be a decent option if you're looking for value and location, but not ideal for a cozy stay.
