THE BATHTUB AND SHOWER ARE RUSTED! And the shower needs 5 minutes to warm up. The breakfast is as simple as nothing you can choose.

They gave away my paid room because it was first come first serve. I paid my room in January. On the day we were scheduled to check in March I called in because our plane was delayed twice and was reassured that it was fine because it was already paid. When I arrived at the hotel at 1:00 am I was told my room was already occupied because it was first come first serve. I’m sorry I thought I was first come with a paid room and first served because I called in to let them know I was Coming but had plane delayed. I was 1,400 miles from home and no place to stay. Other hotels don’t take check in after 11:00. I expect a full refund and apology!!!

Clean place not far from airport. Was fine for only a one night stay. I can’t comment on breakfast or amenities (did’t try anything) no shuttle but I had a rental car and booked because free parking. Not many places in the area offer free parking anymore if you have a car.

Old hotel. I was there for one night only and I wanted to have a good rest, but the room was old, ac was not working properly and overall I did not feel the confort I wanted to have. You can definitely have something better for the same money.

The hotel is clean and close to transportation, but the breakfast is very bad; there is no food. The food service is very poor, and they don't speak English. However, the rooms are generally in very good condition, and the location is convenient for public transport.
