Ascot Budget Inn & Residences
A toaster would have been a good item to have in the kitchenette. Very basic unit but ok for a late arrival and early departure. Handy to airport.

Best Western Airport 85 Motel
Really old mitel. It was really noisy. Snot worth the price if you add the 30-40$ ride share cost might as well stay somewhere for same price
