The hotel is newly remodeled and the staff is great. Only issue I had is the shuttle bus doesn't run between noon and 3pm to do pickups and drop offs to airport.

Awesome
This was my 2nd time staying at this property & it went just as smoothly as the first time! The staff were very friendly and the rooms were clean and comfortable. They also offer free parking & complimentary continental breakfast which is always a plus. Will definitely stay here again when I am back in the area!

I love that this place is so close to the airport and that it was easy to get to. It was easy to check in and out. However, their bed listed as "Queen" size is definitely not queen size. It's a full size. Two people barely fit, unless both people are small sized. That made for an uncomfortable sleep.

Previous reviews gave the continental breakfast high marks. We found this was not the case. The Breakfast was typical continental and a below par of a good breakfast.
