The airport shuttle was punctual. It made transfers simple. Front desk personnel secured my bags safely before check-in time. I also had access to them after I checked out. Breakfast choices had plentiful options for everyone.

amazing stay near the airport!!!

My 20-hour layover was transformed thanks to this fantastic spot. i totally utilized the free 24/7 airport shuttle. It runs like clockwork!!! the super friendly staff even held my bags after checkout, allowing me to explore freely. i really appreciated that!!!
during my stay, i noticed the liquid soap dispenser was empty and remained unrefilled, a minor inconvenience. i think that a quick check by housekeeping could easily prevent this.
