Ok so I was a tad perturbed at the area. It's pretty run down, and there was an alarming amount of bums and beggars milling about. The hotel itself, however, was really nice. Parking wasn't a problem, and it was very brightly lit. The receptionist took a while to check us in but, hey, she was by herself and on the phone speaking with customers so it wasn't really her fault. The room was big, clean and airy, complete with fridge, mic and coffee maker. The bed was firmtastic. The bathroom was spotless and absolutely huge. I would definitely recommend this hotel - close to the airport, free parking, close to several bars and restaurants, safe and secure. WINNER! \\_\o/
