Our flight was delayed so badly and we didnt arrive until 4am. They were nothing but kind, quick and efficient to get us all set in our room with no delay. So appreciative. The room was LARGE. Clean, comfy. Great room. Zero complaints. We had to sleep in so we missed breakfast. Hughly recommend and close to the airport.

The worst hotel experience ever

Couldn't belive how dirty the room and bathroom were! They smelled. There was no power when I checked in. I was so disgusted, I needed to rebook at another hotel.
