When your first thought is... "luckily it's only for one night and we're getting up early" ... you know it won't be a great stay.
This hotel is within fifteen minutes of the airport, offers a reliable shuttle (for an extra fee), and is within walking distance to some terrific seafood restaurants. Three other pluses: our room was clean and to my surprise, there was a rain head shower in the bathroom with plenty of hot water and good pressure. Also -- for those with cars -- free parking in their small lot.
Other than that..... Our pillows were flat. Like slabs. My daughter claimed that her blanket glowed in the dark. We took a family suite and her room was really hot -- no a.c. vent and no window. My room was a little better, but not the lap of luxury. Also note that the lift is for luggage only. If you have trouble with stairs, see if there's availability on the ground floor.
