The guest room was dated and dingy and smelled like "grandma's bathroom" according to my kids. I wouldn't bother with getting a room with a patio. It's enclosed with no view whatsoever. It's a traditional hotel if that is what you're looking for. Location was ok in an okay area. Right near airport so you can hear airplanes taking off at times. Value is okay. There is a daily parking fee and no breakfast included. There is a restaurant which was also okay as well. Service overall was satisfactory to good.
