Ok for cheap airport stopover
Overnight stay for early flight the next morning. Check in quick and smooth. Having stayed previously the room we received this time was obviously older and needed some updating. There was an extractor fan in bathroom that went all night and early morning cooking smells came wafting through which was not pleasant! After using the shower the cold water would not knock off prompting a call to duty manager. As it was before 6am the shower coils not be dealt with until maintenance started at 6am. It was noisy and would have disturbed other guests. Overall good nights sleep but needs some tlc.

The property is definitely dated. Our room was on the main floor and the furniture was chipped and worn out. The carpet felt like it wasn’t vacuumed and the bathroom was minimally cleaned (there was a bug in the bathroom for two days - it sounds silly but I don’t know how else to say it). Check-in was smooth and the bellmen were polite and efficient. Basically, the staff is efficient but the hotel itself could be cleaner and could use a face-lift.
