I liked the place had a kitchen you could cook in (if needed). I had to leave for the airport (11miles away) at 3:30am. Nobody working, kind of desolate outside at night, I was by myself.

This was an extended stay property so the bed and bedding were not that good. Almost minimal. Overall the stay was fine buti would spend more and go for something better if i had it to do again. And the tv remote would not work. Called desk and got no answer. When i went down was told "the driver" would come up and fix it. As my wife was in the shower i said if it's changing input on tv i could handle it. Volume still didnt work.

The hotel is very nice and comfortable. My only gripe would be that the shuttle for the airport will come at 0445 at the earliest. I stayed here FOR the shuttle service. My flight left at 0530 so that wasn’t enough time…. I wish they would use a shuttle service that started earlier. I ended up paying $47 to a cab :(

The place was clean, beds were a 7 out if 10 for comfort, the bathroom had plenty of towels. This place is very average quality. Wall damage from water in the bathroom, elevator was very very slow and would shake real bad. Breakfast was less than average. No eggs or meat. Coffee was good.

I stayed for a few days. The suite includes a full size refrigerator, stove, and microwave. A keurig machine is also available. It and the bathroom was clean. You have to call for the hotel shuttle. The driver was friendly but it may take a little longer pending their schedule. The shuttle can take you to and from local restaurants but its based upon availability. The staff were very nice, hospitable, and professional. Brenda made sure there was a shuttle to take us to the airport for a 6 am flight. I would stay here again.
