The hotel was very close to the airport and that is what we needed. A one night stay until we could get into our house we were staying in. The room was very clean.

I had my doubts initially but I was surprised in what good condition my room was, clean and functional. The management takes a good care of the property and the housekeeping did a great job too. Large TV and a functional coffee machine. A good deal for the price.

Clean and Comfortable

The bldg is old but our room had been renovated and was quite comfortable. Very clean! Bed was comfortable. More pillow options might help. Staff very polite and efficient. Fridge was a bit noisy but did not keep us awake. Being near the airport, morning flights began at about 5:30 am.

Don’t let the outside fool you! The rooms are spacious, modern, and clean. There are large tvs, bathtubs, and great products in the showers. The tiki bar is fun and friendly and has a great assortment of drinks. The staff is really helpful and nice. There was some construction going on and it is close to an airport, but noise was negligible and intrusion was minimal. We will go back!
