Close proximity to the airport is very convenient
Most of the guests who stayed here picked this hotel because of its nearness to the airport. This is prefect for those who just had a flight and wanted to lay down in bed. Even though it's close to the airport, guests were surprised that the noise of planes passing did not disturb them.
positive:
Commendable service from owners
The property managers were widely praised by previous guests for their dedicated service. Furthermore, guests even said that the best asset of the property was its owners, who were always around to solve any problem or concern of the guests.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Sign of cigarettes in non-smoking rooms
Most of the negative reviews were complaints about the duvet covers having cigarette burns on them. Other guests complained that the rooms they were assigned to smelled of smoke even if they requested for a non-smoking room.
negative:
Not-so-safe surroundings
Many of the previous guests speculated that the parking lot was being loitered with drug addicts and prostitutes. Because of people hanging outside, guests felt sceptical stepping outside the property.
negative:
Old-style TVs, not flat-screen
The hotel advertised a flat-screen TV, but the TV equipment in the rooms were still the ones that were old with fat, protruding back. Guests also complained that channels were limited, and the reception wasn't very clear.
