The very hairy experience
The staff was pleasant and helpful. Everything else was absolutely terrible. The first room had multiple hair in the bed and a dirty coffee pot with old coffee still in it. We were given a free upgrade and that room was definitely cleaner, but this is a very tired hotel.

We booked this online, based on other reviews and pics of the property. Neither matched our experience. This place is a disgusting hole. The front desk/lobby area is nice but our room was small, dirty and dated. We will NEVER stay here again.

Hotel was quiet and comfortable, with a nice breakfast assortment included. In room coffee maker was not clean. It was very frustrating to get through to call for the free shuttle service. They don't answer the phone. They need more help.

The stay was ok. Shower had very low pressure but was warm. Beds need to be replaced. They are sloping on both sides, had to sleep at an angle. Electrical outlets were all not working. Room keys kept losing it's ability to open doors. Breakfast was decent. Worker was slow to replenish items that were out. Coffee was good. I also liked that breakfast started at 5 am for early flights. Not sure if I would stay again as my room for 3 was over $300. A room for 2 was about $170.

It was near airport and cheaper than other hotels. Our room was very dated with bathroom with no hooks or shelves to place personal items. Shower floor , as well as curtain was mildewed. The breakfast was rather basic with few choices
