There were no basic amenities like a toothbrush, toothpaste, or even tissue paper in the room. My husband and I were only provided with one chair. Additionally, we had to request a bath towel, as none were available. The blanket provided appeared to be unclean.

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.
