Staff was helpful and multilingual. Totally positive experience. Would note the hotel is at a highway travel stop so there was nothing within walking distance, but the hotel's ample options meant nothing was needed offsite. Highly recommend and especially so for airport accommodations. Breakfast offerings were numerous, but extra gratuity not needed there."
