Our King Junior Suite was a nice room, it has a sitting area with a sofa, a jacuzzi tub/shower, and a bar area. The restaurant at the hotel has a nice happy hour until 6:30 (we were there on a Friday) with some food selections and drink specials. We also ate there for breakfast, we had an omelette and Ayres Country breakfast (I got the fruit instead of potatoes and it was really fresh and delicious) and both dishes were very good. I want to comment on how efficient, friendly, and quick the wait staff are as well. The hotel lobby was under construction, but we stayed in the other building so it didn’t bother us. You do hear the airplanes taking off starting at 7am, but it wasn’t too bad in our room.

The guest room was dated and dingy and smelled like "grandma's bathroom" according to my kids. I wouldn't bother with getting a room with a patio. It's enclosed with no view whatsoever. It's a traditional hotel if that is what you're looking for. Location was ok in an okay area. Right near airport so you can hear airplanes taking off at times. Value is okay. There is a daily parking fee and no breakfast included. There is a restaurant which was also okay as well. Service overall was satisfactory to good.
