amazing airport convenience!

I loved how close this hotel was to the airport terminal. It made our early morning flight stress-free. dropping off the rental car was easy because the parking lot is right next door. the free breakfast started super early at 4 am, perfect for us to grab a quick bite before heading to our gate.
the room could have used a little freshening up, but overall, it was a minor thing compared to the hotel's excellent location and service.

Breakfast began at 4 a.m. It was very important for catching my early flight. The hotel location was nice and close to airport and car rentals.
I found the room lights a bit cold and weak. The room decor was not very cozy.

the hotel had breakfast starting super early, like 4am. i could grab a bite before my flight at 7am. the room was comfy and the shower was nice and hot, so i felt refreshed!
The beds only had one pillow. i asked for three more, but they could only spare one extra pillow. That was annoying. the bath towels were also really small! they felt a little crusty too
