If you are just passing through for the night, it is well located near the airport with complimentary shuttle service and a very sweet knowledge driver. The motel is very clean a it had an excellent restaurant, and we enjoyed both dinner and breakfast. It is also located near a lovely green space that would have been nice for a walk if I had time.
