I loved this hotel for what we needed this weekend. We were there for a volleyball tournament. It was clean, quiet, they have a little store with snacks etc. the front desk staff were beyond kind and accommodating. We requested a late checkout and were allowed to stay to 2 pm with helped us greatly; we didn't have to spend 6 hours at the airport. There is also a Starbucks 2 min walk away, Target and some restaurants within walking distance.
