Quick Family Getaway

Check-in was very easy even though my sons and their families all arrived at different times after 10:00 p.m. The desk staff was friendly and helpful. The 3 rooms were all clean and the beds very comfortable. We did go off site for breakfast as the breakfast menu was very expensive for 11 people. One room overlooked the pool which was fun to watch kids enjoying the pool. We will definitely book here again.

Clean and Comfy

This property is adjacent to the airport boundary. It is a very quick shuttle ride to and from. Upon arrival, the Front Desk Staff could not have been more friendly and attentive. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable,but mostly they are spotless. Clean is a big factor for me. From the bathroom to the bed sheets, you can see the housekeepers take pride in their job. The hotel is very quiet and has a grand atrium from floor to ceiling. I had a very short one night stay and did not use the facilities or restaurants. This is definitely a four star establishment.

Near the airport.

Stayed here with my three children while waiting to pick my husband up from the airport. Room was comfortable. I asked for a roll away and it was quickly delivered. My only complaint is that I hate paying for internet.

Four Stars???

Only stayed there because of an event we had to attend nearby the next day. Thinking it was a 4 star hotel I didn't expect what we found. The hotel is pretty run down - no valet parking - no bell men to help with luggage. We needed a roll away bed and received a soft box spring bed which no one could sleep on - we returned it and received something slightly better. The hotel did not look fresh and clean.

A Saturday Night Stay

We were well received on Saturday afternoon. The staff was friendly and helpful in arranging a cab for us for later in the evening into center city. The room was clean, if a bit dated. The television was really small and the remote was hard to use. There were ample towels and a lovely view from our ninth floor room. We ventured down to the bar which was comfortable with friendly staff. Breakfast buffet on Sunday morning was delicious with fresh fruit and wonderful omelettes, but a bit pricey. We would stay again, definitely.

Pretty good

I spent only one night but it seems quite comfortable. a bit far from everything else but if you rent a car that should not be a problem. Hotel and rooms just fine.
