The bed was comfortable and the linen was pleasant. It's close to the airport. Two buses get you within walking distance of the hotel. There are also KFC and McDonald's located on either side. The hotel offers affordable pricing and fast service from the receptionist.

The sink was located outside the bathroom which seemed unusual, and there was no hand soap available.
