It was convenient The person at the desk was not helpful when the room was not getting warmer than 60 degree and she told us they don’t have any blankets . When we asked if she could help us to find another hotel, she told us we should do it not her and didn’t let us use the phone , finally the other girl there brought us blankets , My friend and I both are very experienced travelers we had never been treated so rudely .

The room is clean, updated, and very quiet. Front desk clerk at 2 in the morning dispatched a cab to get us at the airport, which serves as their shuttle, and the cab met us as we retrieved our luggage. The hot breakfast was varied and tasted good, and the area was kept clean through the breakfast time.
