We were only there one night and left too early for the free breakfast. That said, we always stay there for the free shuttle to the airport and the convenience.

Okay!

The employees were absolutely wonderful. The noise and commotion upstairs kept us up all night and we had a taxi picking us up at 4 am, so we did not get any sleep.

Requested a room on the “off street” side of the building and it was very quiet. Beds comfortable. Room and bathroom very clean and good condition. Mini-fridge and microwave in room were a plus. Courtesy shuttle bus to airport was on time and convenient.
