The hotel smelled like wet dog. The room was ok. They did shuttle me to and from the airport so that was nice. I was annoyed I had to pay to keep my car parked there while I was on my trip though.

I STAYED A COUPLE YEARS AGO AND THE SERVICE WAS BAD, BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD TRY THIS PLACE AGAIN, 2nd CHANCE. AND THEY ARE VERY ORGANIZED AND FRIENDLY. ROOMS WERE VERY CLEAN AND THE BREAKFAST WAS GOOD. THE EGGS DID RUN OUT AND WE WANTED MORE EGGS, BUT THAT WAS THE ONLY PROBLEM. I LIKE STAYING NEAR THE AIR PORT, AS MY SON LIVES NEAR BY, SO I GOOD AREA TO STAY.

Staff were the best part of our stay. There was a lot of yelling and running in the halls at night. Some of the things in our room were broken. The shampoo and conditioner was completely out in the shower. Parking there to leave for a flight was good. Shuttle was excellent.
