The room is spacious and for the price more equipped than i expected for the price. The shuttle runs on time as outlined- great for peace of mind when travelling. I had a long layover so this was an excellent option for me. Hotel breakfast is the typical fare for a hotel. Personally I would appreciated some sugar free options in the oatmeal and yogurt but otherwise decent options. Happy that I picked this place

Staff was very friendly and helpful, but the Tv only worked sometimes, remote barely worked at all. The fridge was so warm our food went bad. Some of the towels had a foul odor. It’s very affordable but be prepared for things to not be perfect

The AC was off which caused the room to smell. The shuttle either needs to go away or better organized. I ended up taking a $40 share ride for a 5 min drive.

This stay was booked last minute due to a flight cancellation. We were very pleased with the 2 rooms we booked. Clean, simple, and comfortable for our one night stay. We arrived very late like 1am and the front desk was very pleasant despite our very late check in.
