Our King Junior Suite was a nice room, it has a sitting area with a sofa, a jacuzzi tub/shower, and a bar area. The restaurant at the hotel has a nice happy hour until 6:30 (we were there on a Friday) with some food selections and drink specials. We also ate there for breakfast, we had an omelette and Ayres Country breakfast (I got the fruit instead of potatoes and it was really fresh and delicious) and both dishes were very good. I want to comment on how efficient, friendly, and quick the wait staff are as well. The hotel lobby was under construction, but we stayed in the other building so it didn’t bother us. You do hear the airplanes taking off starting at 7am, but it wasn’t too bad in our room.

We were disappointed on the daily fees for parking especially when there wasn’t enough parking. I had a Tesla and I couldn’t park where I needed to charge because there where cars park there that weren’t supposed to we ask front desk put they gave us no solution. We found a roach creeping out of the closet. This is a great location but wasn’t impressed
