"Clean comfortable room, great staff. The proximity to the airport is very helpful and the walk to the terminal takes about 15 minutes. There is a hotel shuttle for those who prefer it. The restaurant had wonderful choices at reasonable prices. The service was good but dinner time is busy, loud and hectic. The check in took a long time and since we arrived at 1pm, we had to return to a very long line to check in at 2pm. The room number had not been assigned even though all our information had been captured upon our arrival. We would stay again on future trips."
