Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
lovely staff, nice little room, ceiling fan cools you down and dries your clothes, nice common area - lounge, piano, guitar, ping-pong table, etc. Walkable to the airport. 10-15mins walk. Only downside: I had a super noisy group of 4 young people talking and giggling in the lounge and the hallway at night after 11 pm, and there was no one to stop them. The rooms have open windows at the top, so not really soundproof.
