HE SAID, THE MUSIC WOULD STOP AT 10;30- NOPE NOT UNTIL MIDNIGHT. I THINK I SHOULD RECEIVE A $50.00 REFUND. I WAS LIED TO. THEY SHOULD TELL ONLINE THAT THEY HAVE A BAND ON SATURDAY NIGHTS ! FRIDAY IT WAS QUIT.

The hotel smelled like wet dog. The room was ok. They did shuttle me to and from the airport so that was nice. I was annoyed I had to pay to keep my car parked there while I was on my trip though.

We stayed one night and utilized the airport shuttle in the morning. All the staff were nice and helpful with our questions. The shuttle runs 24/7, so we were able to get a ride to the airport when needed. When we arrived back we made a quick call to the hotel and the shuttle was there to get us within 5 minutes. Quick, easy, and reliable service all around!! I also left my AirPods behind in the room, and they kept them safe in the lost and found! Even offered to mail them back to my house, but I wasn’t far away when I noticed they were gone. We will be staying here again in the future!!

I STAYED A COUPLE YEARS AGO AND THE SERVICE WAS BAD, BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD TRY THIS PLACE AGAIN, 2nd CHANCE. AND THEY ARE VERY ORGANIZED AND FRIENDLY. ROOMS WERE VERY CLEAN AND THE BREAKFAST WAS GOOD. THE EGGS DID RUN OUT AND WE WANTED MORE EGGS, BUT THAT WAS THE ONLY PROBLEM. I LIKE STAYING NEAR THE AIR PORT, AS MY SON LIVES NEAR BY, SO I GOOD AREA TO STAY.
