I don't understand why they would offer a shuttle service at 4:00 AM when it still hadn't arrived by 4:20 AM. I had to call an Uber just to make sure I didn't miss my flight. I even called multiple hotels beforehand to confirm shuttle schedules since my flight was at 5:20 AM.

The room was clean and l love how they set up the toiltries and the toilet tissues was nicely designed prior to me using it. The staff were very courteous. I saw that the place appears more upgraded in comparison to my previous stay. My only desire is for them to have room aroma upgraded. Case in point my clothes had an old scent. When l got my home, l had to wash the clothes that l did not wear because they had an old musty smell. I am now thinking that the people on the plane probaby find my clothes to be smelling musty as well. The price for my stay was vost effective. The elevator and the lobby was clean. It is easy access to uber or lyft and not far from Wal-Mart etc
