My definition of 3 stars is that something is simply adequate, there is nothing that goes above and beyond, and that describes this hotel perfectly. It's what most people require of a hotel that is near the airport. The food, the service, the beds, the rooms are all adequate but nothing exceeds it. With the exception of overall cleanliness, as the rooms were very clean. The building was constructed in a very non-standard way so most things, from the outlets to the windows to the shelves, are all at slightly odd angles but seem to work. I hope better care was taken for earthquake standards.
Currently there is a huge amount of construction and the hotel didn't tell us that we would need special directions, even when we called them to say that we were in a taxi to their facility and double-checking the address. It was rather distressing when we realized we couldn't follow the directions to the hotel as there was no longer a road or exit where there used to be. We finally figured out how to get there over roads that were very torn up but somewhat passable. Inside, we found the emergency exit blocked, which was equally disturbing (see photos). We didn't test the doors so, perhaps they would've worked and perhaps you could get out via that exit. I hope so.
