Merrill Field Inn

Merrill Field Inn

8/10 Good
"The room was clean and it indeed had a kitchenette with a small stove. But absolutely no utensils to use the kitchenette, Not even a skillet or a pot. So I think it was unusable. We could not cook even a small dinner. The table to eat at was very small. Also, a shuttle picked us up from the airport in 50 min but it was probably a miscommunication between the driver and the reception, Then in the morning, the shuttle was on time and we came to the airport exactly as the receptionist assumed, which is more important."
