This airport hotel suffers from severe cleanliness issues with widespread reports of dirty rooms, mold problems, and poor hygiene standards affecting over 30% of recent guests. Multiple guests report musty odors, moldy walls, stained linens, and even insects, creating genuine health concerns. Combined with consistently rude staff and operational failures, this represents a systematic breakdown in basic hospitality standards that makes it unsafe to recommend despite the convenient airport location.
