Our flight was changed to a redeye. Attempted to check in at noon so my wife and I could rest prior to a redeye flight and was informed it would be an extra charge to check in early. No exceptions. The hotel staff is certainly not accommodating. Attempted to cancel and book another hotel but because of hotel.com’s cancellation policy was unable to do so. Room dated but clean.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Good place to stay. I liked how the bedroom was separate from the living room / kitchen. Pots and pans can be obtained from the lobby. Close walking distance to a grocery store and not too far from Walmart, Costco, and other shopping centers. Workers are very kind and helpful. However, the hotel and room are outdated, and there is a lingering scent.

If you are just wanting to stay close to the airport with free shuttle and free shuttle to the train station, this is a great place. No complimentary breakfast and breakfast didn't open until 9:00 a.m. . Room needs a ceiling fan. Very stale air. They did have a square floor fan electric but it made noise. Front desk clerk very polite and patient
