Big, clean rooms

This hotel is near the airport in a commercial/warehouse area and not near any of the typical tourist sites. It fit the bill for us as it was inexpensive and the rooms were great although a little noisy since it is right next to a major highway.

"Early Bird Flyer"

We watched the UH Women's Volleyball Sunday night and took an early flight out on Monday. The free shuttle service is worth the hassle of waking up earlier and beating traffic to get to the airport check-in on time.

Stay elsewhere

Although the beds were OK the bathroom was in very poor shape and looked like it suffered from humidity issues. A turn off when ever you needed to go in there.

Good, not Great

We were looking for a hotel close to the airport. This was perfect. Rooms had been updated but the bathroom, particularily the ceiling, needed to be fixed as it had peeling paint and rotting materials. The parking situation in the area around the hotel was not good and the hotel provided a parking garage with access from the elevators. Better would have been free parking for guests but the fee was not terrible ($10/day). Would have rated the service as excellent but the room keys did not work the second day and had to be reauthorized. Otherwise, the staff was friendly and helpful. Another minor problem was that there was no "Do not Disturb" sign in the room although there was on at another room down the corridor. Finally, being so close to the airport, we worried about noise from the planes. It was not a problem as there as no noise at all that we could hear!
