"Very good service and a perfectly nice motel as our overnight stay before our flight. Our room was pretty clean and quiet despite being in a noise part of town. There was some sand on the floor and the bathroom had the smell from outside but we felt comfortable and it was exactly what we paid for ..."

Good, but not in the exact location shown in app
"This was a good stay, not terribly far from the airport, for an overnight layover. But, know that the location shown on the app is not the actual location of the hotel. Its a bit further, but not out of the realm of reality. Just know that it's a bit different - like off by about a kilometer."
