Great property close to the airport. Small but family owned so they really do care about the guests. The facilities were in great condition, bed was comfy, the complimentary breakfast was actually amazing with lots of options and healthy snacks. The area is quiet and close to the airport. I definitely would stay here again.

The smell was of a very old, water damaged property. I didn’t stay. No way was I dealing with that all night. It was small, but clean - but the smell was a deal breaker. And almost the same price as chain brand names.
