Cheap hotel near the airport. Old with lots of wear and tear on furniture. No fridge or microwave in room, but did have a microwave in common area we could use. Worked for what we needed but definitely a budget hotel.

The hotel is a little downtrodden feeling. Needs a facelift in a serious way. Room feels sparse and uninviting with small, shabby furniture. Elevator feels like it’s going to break down. Pillows are a lumpy disgrace. Breakfast was limited.

Stay somewhere else
Had to switch rooms due to foul smelling room. Couldn’t get any sleep. Really thin walls and fan on AC unit made terrible hissing sound all night. Pay the extra $ and stay somewhere else trust me
