"We loved this hotel there for one night. I would call it a traditional American hotel that hadn’t change much. Room good size and very clean. Breakfast was very very basic. Wouldn’t rate it at all. Good free shuttle to airport"

"Very disappointing experience. Communication was horrible and it was extremely difficult to get clear or timely responses. The property itself also looked run-down, and the room was not clean or well-maintained. Overall, the condition of the room did not match what I expected,"
