the location proved convenient for reaching the airport.
The bathroom size was notably small, it made moving around difficult. the air conditioning unit was noisy. Sleeping with it on was not possible. the room seemed worn, it could use some updates.

The room was tidy I expected it to be so.
The shower design was poor The bathroom became one large shower cubicle when used and it was too small to brush teeth without standing in water. I observed corrosion on the door frame and I detected a smell of Av Gas during the night.
