I love the fact that this hotel was about five minutes from the airport. I love the fact that we had food options in walking distance. The hotel started serving breakfast at 5 AM or 5:30 AM which was wonderful because we were up and ready to eat, and the staff was very, very friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

Great room. It was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Area around the property wasn’t the greatest, although it was very convenient to the airport. Would definitely stay again.
