The service at this hotel is always amazing. The people are hospitable and very eager to please. The breakfast is delicious with lots of options. The only problem this time was that our shower didn’t drain properly.

A great place to stay right next to the airport. 24/7 Denny's next door which saved us upon late night arrival and starving. Walls were thin but no complaints for a hotel near the airport. We will be staying here again.
