I booked this hotel primarily for its proximity to the airport, and while it was decent enough for our short stay, there were a few drawbacks. The room was clean and had a lovely balcony with a beach view, which was nice. However, the fact that it isn't a 24-hour hotel made it a bit unsettling for our early morning departure. Overall, it was a good value for money but had its issues.

The room was clean, exceptionally comfortable, and had a lovely view, but the bathroom felt a bit cramped, especially for four people.

While we didn't need much service, there was a sense of uncertainty with the security since the door was left unlocked while open. This could've been a concern if we returned late.

We chose this hotel mainly for its proximity to the airport for our early morning flight, and while it served its purpose, it had its ups and downs. The cleanliness and comfort of the beds were certainly highlights, and the little balcony facing the beach was a nice touch. However, the lack of 24-hour service made us a bit uneasy, especially when we had to leave so early in the morning. The price was quite reasonable, but overall, it's a bit dated and could use some updates.

We chose this hotel primarily for its proximity to the airport ahead of an early flight. While it met basic needs with cleanliness and comfort, the fact that it isn't open 24 hours added a tinge of unease when leaving at such an early hour. Our stay was fine for the night, but I wouldn't want to linger here longer as it feels a bit dated despite the decent price.

I chose this hotel to stay close to the airport for an early flight, and it served its purpose well. The room was clean and included a nice balcony with a beach view, and the beds were really comfy. However, the lack of 24-hour service made me uneasy when leaving at 3:30 am, as I worried about not being able to get back inside in case I needed help with my cab. Overall, the price was quite reasonable for what it offered, even though it felt a bit dated.

6.4/10

We chose this hotel mainly for its affordability and proximity to the airport, especially since we had an early morning flight. While it was clean and had decent beds, the experience was somewhat unsettling given that it isn't a 24-hour establishment. The hotel offers the essentials, but it's showing its age, and there were moments when we worried about locking ourselves out during our late checkout.
