The hotel is close to the airport, but not as close as it looks on Expedia's map. It is down a gravel side street that didn't seem that safe at night and was a little noisy all night. The room was clean, but the shower didn't work great. There was a lot of open space and closet space and a nice desk/table. There was no airport shuttle but the woman working the front desk overnight was very helpful at calling me a taxi.
