The hotel is huge in size compared to others but it probably needs an update. Breakfast was okay. It is not a buffet but they provide food portion on a plate/box. It is clean but you can smell the chemicals used to clean the room.

Easy check-in & out, a OK breakfast (a little bit greasy for me), no parking fees, a rental car office in the same location. All those services when considering the room rate I received were more than good. I’ll choose this hotel again.

At the check in I was assigned a room which was not ready and I have to go back to the front desk to have another room where I heard some remodeling noise from the next door but that ended before 5pm. That’s the only thing I want to mention but other than that, I’m OK.

The people we were traveling with had a piece of dried pasta stuck to the wall, two TVs in our room didn’t work until I called front desk and those who travelled with us only had one and they said they didn’t have anymore to put into their bedroom. They wouldn’t clean our rooms the entire stay because we stayed 6 nights. (Only clean after 7 night stay)

Okay stay

Overall was a good stay. It's noisy from airplanes till 10:30 pm, then it's quiet. We found an used dental flosser by the bed. When we got to breakfast 9:30, quality and selection were poor. You get what you pay for. It was a okay stay.

Breakfast bad

There were many reviews saying the breakfast was great, but it wasn't that great. It wasn't a buffet, and people only served a set amount. They served small sausages the size of a pinky finger, an omelet, hash browns, muffins, and drinks. The sausages were not tasty at all, and the omelet was so bad that I threw it away after one bite. I stayed for two nights, but on the second day, I didn't eat the hotel breakfast, but instead ate a sandwich I bought at the supermarket. I found 6 unused breakfast coupons in my clothes, so I guess the other pitchers decided not to eat breakfast. I can still hear the sound of the staff serving breakfast cutting tickets.
