Ask to stay on the main building. Property is close to the airport and a more affordable option if it’s just for a night.

Great Front Desk & Shuttle service!
The service was fabulous!! Our flight was over 2 hours delayed making us arrive after 2am. I called the hotel to let them know, about the delay, there was an emergency with the staff and the message wasn’t passed on. Upon arrival we were so great full that the person at the front desk was able to send a shuttle for us and accommodate us!! I’m very appreciative to have been met with friendly staff after such a busy and challenging day!

This accommodation is fairly close to the airport, and has a free shuttle. One can call the shuttle from an airport phone and they are there, in ten minutes. The accommodation itself is a little tired appearing, and in need of some repairs ie the grout around the bath tub was mouldy. There was a small fridge, coffee maker and microwave in the room. Also, complimentary shampoo and body lotion. We were travellers without a car, and the close by restaurant choices within walking distance were a Wendy's, a MacDonalds and a fish restaurant where we went, and enjoyed an ample bowl of fish chowder. However the motel is on a bus line which goes directly to downtown, in about 15 minutes, so that was handy for sightseeing etc. This was a suitable budget accommodation for our needs.

The property was a little rundown. Perhaps most people wouldn't even notice, yet as a handyman, I pay attention to such things. That said, the staff was great, the stay pleasant, the decor amazing. It's worth the visit just to see that. And did I mention it was half the price of surrounding lodgings?
