Basic hotel, no frills. Older property so not well insulated from airport noise. No elevator and about 1 mile from metro so you need to be able to handle getting around on your own. Need to get Lyft to get to the airport.

At first, the receptionist was a bit rude. He asked me for the exact model of my car, and when I told him it was a grey Volkswagen, that wasn’t enough. Since it was just a rental, I didn’t know the exact model. The property doesn’t have an elevator, so be prepared to carry your luggage. However, the room was clean (which is the most important thing) and came with a toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, and conditioner. Lastly, It’s only a 6-minute drive to the airport, which is very convenient for our 5 a.m. flight.
