We enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable beds, clean room and very easy access to interstate. Friendly staff. My only real complaint is that I wish there was a large ice machine on each floor instead of having to rely on the refrigerator in the room ice machine.

Do not..under any circumstances,stay here for business travel and rely upon their airport shuttle service. The morning of 5/11, I had reserved a shuttle at 4:45 AM the previous evening with the desk clerk and they never bothered to set it up. I was forced at 4:30 AM to find an alternate means to the airport. Absolutely unacceptable.
