As a budget hotel price was good and satisfactory room. Staff were very friendly. As a person travelling solo arriving later in the night I feel the description of location needs to include after leaving airport grounds you need to walk a short distance in isolated area under freeway into hotel grounds. Didn’t not necessarily feel comfortable walking this late at night.
