Adequate Stay Near the Airport

The location was quite convenient. Shuttle service to the airport was available. My room was clean, and the breakfast had adequate options.
The room's interior seemed a bit dated. I noticed the absence of a mini bar, even for water. The in-room WiFi connection was quite slow.

the free airport shuttle was acceptable.
I found the room quite dusty and not cleaned properly. It was disappointing. the pillows were also weird and not comfortable at all. i really think they need investment from a large chain.
