Wont recommend. Booked a family suite for a day and will not recommend if you want a peaceful night. They checked us in a suite which had heater broken with outside temperature of -15 degrees. They provided 2 portable heaters to make the whole suite warm. The portable heaters were pretty useless until kept 3 feet from the body. It was already too late and we just wanted to sleep as had a flight early morning. After couple hours, the suite curcuit breaker tripped and there was no electricity in the room. They fixed the breaker but then we couldn’t use portable heaters anymore. In middle of night they changed us to a standard room in another building and didn’t have any elevator so we were supposed to carry our 4 heavy suitcases to 3rd floor by ourselves. This was too much of a bad experience so we went to airport directly to have few peaceful hours there before our morning flight. The staffs lacked any hospitality in properly providing an alternative solution. I am not coming here ever again.

Dingy room. Very noisy and angry neighbors. Was in the outer motel rooms. Would have been tolerable for the price if wasn't for very thin walls and noise.
