This is great for being close to the airport, the breakfast is good, and it's clean. Unfortunately, our toilet wouldn't stop running, the handle on the closet was broken and the air conditioner had a short in it. We got very hot during the night. Additionally, the room above us was very loud at 4:00 AM.
