Pros (+) cleanliness and customer service
Cons (-) Could use more towels and tissue facial tissue
Pros (+) Staff
Cons (-) Nearby neighborhood.
Pros (+) The staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. We stayed at this hotel due to a flight being cancelled. I called the hotel to have their shuttle pick us up at the airport.

Pros (+) The staff and shuttle drivers were friendly and helpful. The airport shuttle was very convenient and there was a Seven Eleven market right next door. It was also very quiet! Well equiped room with microwave and fridge.
Cons (-) The room was dated and so didn't appear as clean as I would have liked.
Cons (-) Clean the bathroom and carpeting and wash the sheets.
