Incredible experience! I arrived early and I was able to check in, clean and peaceful room, kind and welcoming staff. If you need to stay close to the airport, this is the place you must choose. I cannot thank them enough for their hospitality

Room was clean and nice but the hangers were not clean. Overall it was pleasant stay
Will surely visit back.
Plenty of parking and friendly front desk staff. The area around the property is very nice and walkable and near a lot of stores. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I would return to stay here in the future
Room was spotless. The staff was so sweet, and accommodating. Very personal service. When our key card stopped working because of a dead battery in the lock, the staff took care of it while we were out. Several hours, the person at the desk had the key card ready for me and address me by name when I came in to grab the replacement.
bed was lobsided as the room had slant ,,,perhaps because corner room. ..I would suggest adjustment of bed because it affected my rest and sleep....
property was very clean and check in was easy and excellent. Friendly and attentive
