Liked: Cleanliness
Staff was courteous. We needed a hotel close to the airport before an early morning flight and this hotel was servicable. There was no fridge in the room, so I was happy to find ice and an ice bucket for some food that we had to keep cold. I wish the room had been cleaner and in better repair. Unfortunately the hotel shuttle did not run at the time that we needed it, so we had to schedule an Uber.
