Great stay!!
Excellent stay. Rooms were very clean and beds were comfortable. Restaurant onsite was delicious and the indoor pool was a hit with the kiddo. Would definitely stay here again. Especially with the courtesy shuttle to the airport.

After 3 flights and two days of travel this hotel was a great relief. Quiet, clean, spacious and very well set-up with comfy beds, fast airport pickup, and gracious staff. The restaurant is a little pricey, but the food was good, and after a long journey it was perfect to not go looking for food.

Convenient and Comfortable Stay!
Perfect Hotel for a Comfortable Stay Before Departure! We spent our last night here before heading to the airport and were thoroughly impressed. The hotel is clean, comfortable, and offers excellent fitness and pool facilities. The brunch was fantastic, and the customer service was top-notch. While we chose it for its convenience to the airport, it turned out to be a great all-around experience!

close to airport. Shuttle to and from airport. Staff was very nice. We checked in for one night and then checked out, to travel for a few day, but were going to check back in on the 3rd day. They let us store a suitcase there while we traveled. Very convenient.

Convenient hotel close to the airport and some eateries within a 10 minute walk. Bus to the city stops right in front of the hotel. The hotel staff was nice to give us some cash to ride the bus to the city and was adjusted towards the hotel bill.
