"This was a surprisingly lovely airport hotel! The rooms were clean and had ac. There was a sweet little sitting area where guests could have coffee outside looking onto some green. The only downside is this place was that breakfast ended at 9am which was too early for us given our last arrival the previous night. Otherwise, though, highly recommended for a stopover near the airport!"
"Great Hotel if you are getting in late or leaving early in the morning as the airport i’s only about a block away. They provide free transportation to and from the airport. I was really impressed by the quality of the rooms in the hotel in general. It’s an excellent deal for the price. Great breakfast included, and the staff are very attentive and professional. I have stayed a number of the hotels near the airport and highly recommend this is the best option."
