Location was good the idea was tom have a rest after 30 hours flying and pick up our rental car from the airport the next day.
Even thou this is a very large hotel our room was situated on top of the gigantic commercial extractor fan system,them the noise was constant.
If you are using this booking system request to be away from it otherwise with jet lag is very hard to sleep.
We enjoyed our breakfast.
Staff was friendly.

Here’s a polished rephrased version:

I was initially skeptical because it was more affordable, but it completely exceeded my expectations far better than the place I booked before moving here. It was also very convenient, as I could simply walk into the airport. The staff were very helpful. However, they should consider adding a toilet brush for guests’ convenience.

The hotel was perfect for an overnight to catch an early flight. It's brilliantly placed, right next to the car rental offices and a very short walk to the terminal building.
Room was clean and functional with comfy bed and good shower. We had dinner there too which was also good.
All the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Clean hotel with friendly staff. The Resurant has a fair selection of food and beverages.
Aircons could be colder, room was extremely hot during the evening and because it’s next door to the airport you really don’t want to open the window and let the noise in.

Liked: Location next to airport and car rental agencies. Nostalgia - been going to this chain since young. Disliked: Second room had mouldy smell - the odour you get from a cloth/mop that hasn't been washed properly. Was also promised I'd get to keep my first room from the Agoda booking. Had to switch over to a room minutes before having to leave to a wedding - the soul reason I was in PE. Garden view was nice for a change in this second room. Again, very nostalgic. Extreme noise for hours AFTER the rugby match was being watched by the public dining area - a staff member and what appeared to be their friends. During the rugby game is acceptable.

What a miserable welcoming, then giving us the wrong room category, luckily I have done her job and double checked my booking. Its just so frustrating.

Enjoyed my stay & impressed with eco-friendliness

I was very happy with my short overnight stay. It was perfect for what I needed, and very convenient being in walking distance, with easy and quick access, to the aiport. Nice pool and outdoor area and the room was clean and comfortable, with tea and coffee making facilities. The best part and what I was most impressed with was the eco-friendly nature of the hotel, with minimal plastic packaging and eco friendly soap bars, among other things. They are also making a good effort to minimise water usage in the drought. Please keep up the good work :)

The staff were extremely helpful. Although they didn’t provide dinner at the hotel they had an excellent system whereby we could order a take away from a nearby restaurant and eat it siting at their breakfast tables. We were able to drink our own wine there too whilst having our meal which was helpful as we were flying out the next day and couldn’t carry the wine with us. Could not fault the staff. The hotel itself was perfect for a short overnight stay before an early flight. Bed was comfortable , bathroom was clean.

Claustrophobic Extreme

The only reason we stayed in your establishement was because we had an early flight. I have to say in all honesty it ws one of the most uncomfortable and claustrophobic nights I have ever had to endure. I am aware this is a budget hotel. But I think you have taken budget to a new extreme. The least you can offer your clients is a fan, if you fell offering them an air-con is not financially viable. Our flight was at 06h:35, therefore we did not even have breakfast, nor were we offered coffee and a rusk. We did discover that there are many other hotels on the strip that are literally five minutes away; at that time of the morning there is no traffic and therefore getting to the airport on time is not a problem. We will not be staying in your establishment again and please consider supplying your clients with the very least in the form of a fan. I do not want to interfere in your business model suffice to say its not always about price but rather a combination of comfort and value
