Nice clean stay, convenient location by the airport with car rentals a short walk away. Breakfast included was nice and if you have to leave early for the airport they give you a "to-go" bag of snacks.

Room was large, clean and comfortable. Very conveniently located close to the airport with continuous shuttle service. First stay, we could take advantage of the breakfast buffet with excellent variety and plentiful. Second stay had early check-out before breakfast so the receptionist arranged for a generous snack bag of food to go. Denny's restaurant is right next door for any other meals. Although we didn't have time to use it, there was a gym and outdoor pool.
