Acceptable But Disappointing Airport Stay
convenient locationrestricted menusmall room
The location was conveniently close to where I needed to be for my flight.
The restaurant menu was quite restricted, offering few options. The restaurant area also felt uncomfortable and not particularly inviting. the room was smaller than expected, especially considering the price.

I found the check-in staff very friendly and helpful. They got me sorted quickly. the bed was very comfortable (i slept soundly each night!). being able to walk to some restaurants was a plus, i enjoyed exploring nearby.

Convenient Stay Near the Airport
airport decorhelpful staffclean hotelnearby food
Check-in was quick, and the staff was helpful. The room had airport decor (I found that quite charming). The hotel was very clean. Food options were within a short walk.
The room did not have a window I could open, so the air felt a bit stuffy.
Location

The hotel is near the airport (this was great for my early flight). It is an easy walk from the domestic airport. An airport shuttle is available, but a taxi is cheaper for groups, at $21.60 each way.
Dining

The buffet breakfast offered many fresh choices. It included cooked options such as eggs, bacon, and sausages. The breakfast was great (especially the variety of choices!).

The hotel provided modern conveniences. I especially appreciated the four USB outlets, negating my need for a converter. The luggage storage was available, and it was free. The gym has several treadmills.
