Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Convenient, inexpensive. But the beeping-backup trucks at 4am and 5am on a Sunday morning? It's as if the hotel doesn't realize people actually need to sleep. I was on the top (4th) floor and the noise was loud enough to wake me. Ask for a room with a view of the road, not the back alley.

I stayed for literally 5 hours to get some sleep rather than doze on the airport floor. Booked the room online at the airport and was sleeping all within an hour. Can't complain.. I got my Zzzzs on a good bed. Cheers

Failed to properly check me in and the Night Manager called my room at 9:30 PM and asked for my last name which is a major security protocol failure. I would never give my last name to a unknown person over a phone at a hotel Good thing I had not already gone to bed. Unbelievable lapse by the management team
