Needed a place to stay before a mid morning flight back to the US. This was just a few minutes further away than the usual mid range chain hotels near the airport. We dropped our bags at the hotel and I planned on taking an Uber back from the rental car drop at the airport but they said "we will have our shuttle pick you up". The hotel itself was immaculate and impressively designed/decorated-not at all the "plain" hotel we expected. The room very clean and comfortable, drinks in the lounge top notch, dinner and breakfast fine (the breakfast buffet a bit weak but the others in our party had the full breakfast which was fine). Reasonably priced-all in all the hotel punched well above its weight

The Dakota is modern and clean if a little dark and not terribly convenient for the airport. However, I booked the hotel because it boasted an airport transfers from 6am until 10pm. Unfortunately when I tried to reserve transfers 48 hours in advance as requested for 7:30am, I was informed that the transfers only ran from 10am on the day we needed them. Extremely disappointing!!

This was a lovely hotel and the staff were very helpful and kind. Dinner at the restaurant was delicious and most welcome after a long travel day. Our waiter was outstanding in making the perfect Scotch recommendation to enjoy after asking about our preferences. His selection was perfect.

Not knowing the area, I chose this hotel because it had a free shuttle to the airport. It wasn’t available unless I wanted to go 4 hours before my flight, so I had to call a taxi. If I had realized how far from the airport they were, I would’ve chosen a hotel that was closer.

Loved this hotel. Large, modern and clean as well as comfortable and with a restaurant on the premises. Definitely recommend. It was about a 20 minute walk to village with great views of bridges and several eating options. Close to highway and a grocery store nearby

Lovely hotel we booked as close to airport, very nice condition. We were able to get in our rooms early, but they were going to store our luggage for us if needed. Didn't use the restaurant but looked nice. Very walkable into town and a lovely village, had a fun cruise of the area. My only complaint was the bed was not very comfortable. Shuttle to airport was great, lovely driver, very personable.
