I love the fact that this hotel was about five minutes from the airport. I love the fact that we had food options in walking distance. The hotel started serving breakfast at 5 AM or 5:30 AM which was wonderful because we were up and ready to eat, and the staff was very, very friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice property, the definition of a three star hotel. I had heavy bags and all the rooms are far from the front door, so that was an avoidable pain point. The breakfast is good and the rest is a solid three stars.

Nothing overly fancy, (which isn’t bad) but close to the airport with an airport shuttle & many local tours pick you up from here which was a bonus. Would definitely recommend.

Many homeless walking the street and the section of the hotel we were given was old and outdated with moldy bath/shower.
