I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at the hotel. The room was quiet and comfortable, and I was glad I booked for 2 nights. It was spotless and fresh. However, there was a slight smell like smoke or marijuana lingering in the air, which was a bit off-putting.

7.6/10

My stay at the hotel was overall satisfying. The rooms were comfortable with two cozy queen-size beds and plenty of pillows, although the musty smell and mold in the shower were a downside. The service was exceptional, especially the midnight lady who checked us in, though some staff behaviors in the elevator were unprofessional. The location was excellent for airport access but not particularly convenient for other activities. The dining experience was decent but could use some improvement. The facilities met my needs, and the price was reasonable.
