Have stayed here a lot of times over the years but it seems it’s really fallen in disrepair. Came in and the carpets/floors in the common areas seemed really dirty. Went to use the gym and it is pretty dingy but I was gonna make do but then the treadmill was broken. Let the front desk know and they weren’t aware, said the elliptical had just been broken. Really convenient location for where I work but unfortunately won’t be back. I’ll take the extra 10-15 min drive so I can stay at a nicer IHG hotel.

The usual pros and cons
Pro: Coffee maker, fridge, microwave, iron, TV in the room; basically it's a clean facility; shuttle to the airport from 4am
Cons:
Desk next to the window - aircon fully blows towards the desk, impossible to work.
Carpet in the room felt wet and moist - recommend to keep shoes on.
Left the room at 8:30am, returned at 2:30pm - room was still untouched and not made up.

Easy check-in for myself with a precruise easy stay. Easier to stay over night for an early flight out and park n ride.
