Not quite as easy to walk to the little town nearby - hotels on So Airport Blvd are better situated - but this one does have free shuttle to the airport and breakfast and a little bit of fitness equipment, so liked that. Would definitely stay there again

Disappointed
I cannot even explain how disappointed I was unfortunately. I still haven't expressed my concern to the manager at the property. I would hope I can get some kind of refund from them when I calm down. Now would, I feel be an appropriate time to express my concern as to why I haven't received my refund to a hotel In early September that I reported appropriately and in a timely manner. Not to mention I also had to submit documents from my Orthopedic Trauma Surgeon and Team. That's why I had spent money which was for this specific trip was cancelled for meds meaning
