"This hotel is conveniently located by the airport, although I would not recommend this Hotel. It was dirty, and during our stay the elevator broke and I had to help my legally blind father up and down the stairs, we were on the 3rd floor. The rest of my family stayed on higher floors so it was quite a work out for them as well. I will not be staying here again."
