The property is really close to the airport. It was the least expensive this close to the airport. I felt safe. But as it states in the name "budget", well it sure is on their end. Beds are uncomfortable. Room had no class. Only 2 outlets for charging phones in inconvenient areas. No tissues, shampoo or conditioner. Just a bed and a tiny TV for $175 per night. I remember when a rooms like this were only $29.90.
