Location to airport great but by no means is the hotel 5 star!!! Barely 2-3 maximum. Very dated. Dirty. Carpets in rooms not cleaned in a while. BEDS…. Hard as a rock and worst sleep ever. Roof top pool pictures you see where probably from when it first opened…. Now it’s awful and very dirty. The adjoining mall closed down after Covid so nothing is open apart from a movie theater and a cafe.

Early check-in was $40 usd even though the property looked pretty vacant. Reception was nice enough to keep our luggage though, very friendly staff. Not much to do in the area , we just wanted to spend the night so was pretty convenient as it's very close to the airport.

We booked this hotel to use the pool and restaurant while awaiting an early morning flight home. However, upon arrival we were informed that the pool and amenities were closed for a private party. They initially advised us to go to the mall, which was closed, meaning we had to stay in our room which was filthy. After we asked for compensation we were upgraded to a nicer cleaner room with a complimentary fruit tray and dinner. Front desk staff were very apologetic and professional.

I really enjoyed staying at this hotel despite being skeptical at first. The rooms are big, spacious and most importantly very clean. The beds and bedsheets are super comfortable so that was a plus! While the hotel is old it seems to be properly maintained and the staff are very very friendly. Breakfast choices are limited but they offer different types to basically suit all customers. If you are looking for a hotel close by to the airport this is in my opinion the best option in terms of value by far I've previously stayed at the Novotel hotel next to the airport and the rooms were depressing, dirty and smelled like an ashtray. Also the amenities provided are fantastic! Loofahs, body lotion, conditioner, slippers, blow dryer - you name it!

It's a very dated hotel and I fail to see how it received more than 2 stars. I wouldn't not recommend this place at all. Firstly the signage is virtually non existent and although it's close to the airport as the crow flies, it's a long drive through some pretty rough places. The service at the restaurant is shocking and the rooftop terrace is the worst I've ever seen. They must have employed a very creative photographer. I asked about an airport shuttle and was told to book a cab. There are much better and safer airport hotels nearby who offer a shuttle service.
