Super close to airport

I arrived around 9:45 and they couldn’t locate my original reservation. They said they couldn’t find me and didn’t have my reservation. After looking she found the reservation I had made almost 2 months ago she said it was their mistake. Even though they didn’t have my type of room available they were able to accommodate me with another room. After that everything was perfect

It was generally fine. The shared bathroom was coed and not very private so I didn’t love that and I didn’t really go around the area, but it doesn’t seem like there’s much as you’re just near the airport and that’s the convenience of it. The people were kind and it’s a really good place if you want to be near the airport
