Directly across from the airport so convenient for my 5am flight. But I had issues with the room location. It was literally in the stairwell, offset from the rest of the hallway. My doir was at the bottom of the stairs. I also had issues with the TV. I talked to the front desk and she helped with the TV, but just brushed off my concerns about the room. Thankfully I’m a sound sleeper. Inside the room was clean, bed was comfy, AC could have worked better.

Front desk gal was wonderful. However, 2 separate globs of hair on the shower wall and pubic hair on the soap dish kind of was a big turn off. Clearly it wasn’t cleaned. When I got I to the room, the temp was set at 78. Like walking into a sauna.

Overall rooms look nice/ typical however I'm not sure what all gets cleaned between guests. When we opened the door it was very musty smelling. Even after running the ac for awhile, you can definitely still smell a difference between the hallway & room. Another thing was my 3yr old opened a drawer and found 3/4 loaf of bread, 4 hotdogs buns, mayo, ketchup & can of veggies. It also smells bad in the drawer, so not sure how long they have been in there for. No extra blanket/ pillows. They do have mini fridge & microwave so i guess that's a plus.
