Very comfortable hotel. Location was great: just a few minutes from the airport! Room was big and clean. Receptionists were excellent: Kayla, Shayla and Emil. Service room was very good. Breakfast was pretty good: Yolanda provided excellent service; but the other employee had a bad attitude: I asked her to warm the water to make a tea and she refused to do it ("do it by yourself" -she said). In general, my wife and I enjoyed our stay there.

Overall the hotel is decent for a quick stay and just needed somewhere to lay your head for a average cost. However, there's some areas the hotel could use some help. The air freshener in the lobby smells nice, but it's beyond steong! The hot water in the rooms takes FOREVER to heat up. Like a solid 10 mins or so to get hot water. The faucet to the sink needed a good scrubbing. I cleaned it the best I could. The rooms also have a weird damp feeling to them if you don't leave the air on 67. Changing it to 69 and you could feel the dampness/mugginess in the room. The breakfast was horrible and the lay out makes it cramped to try to get to. The rooms could also use some paint in areas. Would I stay here again? Sure.... it served it's purpose. The bed was comfortable and the location was convenient. Would it be my top pick of hotels to go back to? No.
