“The location is indeed convenient, close to transportation and the airport, though that comes with expected noise. Inside, there's evidence of recent remodeling efforts, focusing on the rooms themselves. While the exterior needs work and first impressions might be misleading, the staff seems to prioritize interior comfort. For those prioritizing a clean room and easy access, it could be a reasonable choice.”
