It was in a nice area by the small airport. You can hear the engine on the airplanes, but that did not bother us. They do charge you for parking if you are staying here. It is not free parking. It costs $15 a night so be prepare for that.

Internet did not work. Loud people next door playing music at 4:30 a.m. and a lot of younger teens there this weekend. It's one of those "this is where the team stays for soccer tournaments" kind of hotels, I think. The only problem is we aren't on a soccer team. It was clean, though, and the staff was efficient, but it wouldn't be my first choice in the future.
