“Not bad!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 18, 2012

The price was pretty good, and the room was nice. The beds were ok, not super soft, but it was clean and comfortable for the most part. The one thing that annoyed me was the fact that there are no blinds on the windows, and my room was near some stairs. We ended up putting one of my long scarves over the window to add another layer so people couldn't see in.

The continental breakfast is nice, and people at the desk were so helpful when we needed assistance getting around.

I would stay here again - it's not a luxury hotel, but it was clean and comfortable and a good place to rest. :)

“Cheap price, fair room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 5, 2012

We had first to figure out where it is. you couldnt expect a 5 stars hotel at that price.
Lady at the reception look like she had enough of her job!

it's a bit noisy and if you can figure out how the darn lights switches are working at the first try, i'll send you 2$ :)

Ok to sleep a night, it's close to the airport but very very fair quality

Room Tip: get to another place!

“Terrible”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed September 22, 2012 via mobile

Terrible hotel!! Leaking ceilings, damp rooms, mouldy, closed pool and jacuzzi due to government health and safety regulations and dirty rooms! Unsafe to stay at this place due to wet ceilings and chance that the roof will cave in!!

“It's a bed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed September 22, 2012

This "Hotel" is not great, it is what it is and if all you are looking for is a Room to sleep the night as you pass through then this place is fine for that. They do stink like smoke, but after a 15 hour flight we did not care, we just wanted to sleep before moving on to the West Coast. The breakfast is included in the rate and had bagels, pastries and coffee. Nothing fancy. For the money you pay you get what you pay for.

“I wouldn't call it a hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed September 18, 2012 via mobile

from Australia all we wanted to do was sleep. We paid $25 for an early check in at 11am. Normal check in time is 3pm.
Some of the reviews I can totally relate to and are very true:)

Negatives:
Air freshener was awful!! Stinks like cheap crap.
Air cond is loud
Squeaky plumbing going on throughout the night
Wifi weak in rooms
Bed sheets were awful - they didn't stay on properly, although they were clean and presentable.
Some of the receptionist were not friendly although some were and greeted us:) the older men were nice.
Rooms were stuffy if you don't open air connd
Lamps didn't work


Positives
Close to airport- taxi cost 22$
Food places around- u can walk to target for groceries or essentials if u have forgotten - eg, deodorant , tooth paste.
Bathroom was good enough to shower
The automatic lights were good
free breakfast
Free shuttle to airport every hour
Close to airport


It was okay for one night stay , although I wouldnt stay for more than one night.
