Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located right on the highway, making it easy to access, close to the airport, and was nicely decorated for Christmas. While the transportation of luggage was a bit challenging with the cart, the festive decorations added to the overall ambiance.
My stay at the hotel was very pleasant. The room, although facing dumpsters and staff parking, was clean, tidy, and conveniently located on the ground floor near the entrance with a great bed. The entry from the parking lot made it easy to carry in luggage.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with a back door opening to the parking lot. While the rooms might look a bit dingy, they provide a cozy stay more than a typical cheap and cheerful motel room. The service is excellent, with staff going above and beyond to assist guests. The location is highly convenient, close to various amenities and easy to find. The dining experience is satisfactory, especially the breakfast, and the facilities are well-maintained.
Staying at the hotel was a nice break from the airport hustle; the rooms were clean but a bit rundown and hot. The staff was incredibly helpful and welcoming, assisting me with my injury. The location was convenient for my visit, but with a slight urine smell. Dining was good value, especially with delicious sandwiches.
