Economically priced, right at the airport.

Budget hotel right next to the airport. If you live a long way from the airport and you have an early flight, this economically priced room fits the bill very well.

As a budget hotel price was good and satisfactory room. Staff were very friendly. As a person travelling solo arriving later in the night I feel the description of location needs to include after leaving airport grounds you need to walk a short distance in isolated area under freeway into hotel grounds. Didn’t not necessarily feel comfortable walking this late at night.

Nice quiet room with comfortable bed. Contains the very basics, bed, TV, sink and mini bathroom (like the one you find on a cruise ship). Staff at the front desk are amazing and so accomodating. Great easy walking distance to the airport terminals. Very convenient and comfortable and clean for one night. But I do think it’s a bit over priced for what you get considering you could spend an extra $60 and get a much bigger and better equiped room across the road.
