"Overall a nice hotel, clean, friendly, and with good AC and water pressure. However, two things were annoying: 1) the internet in our room was so weak as to be unusable. 2) the lobby is perfumed which made it hard for us to use it. "

"Was a great stay. The airport shuttle service was helpful both directions (we arrived late and left early). The breakfast was tasty and was nice to have available as early as 5 a.m. for those with early flights. The room was clean and comfortable. I do wish hotels would never have the translucent bathroom door, which lights up the room if someone is using it. But would still recommend as an airport hotel!"
