Airport shuttle was amazing. The staff was so attentive and even allowed us to Check in early. Our room’s air conditioner was broken when we first checked in. I called the front desk and it was fixed within minutes!
The property was nice and quiet with friendly staff. Conveniently located next to a gas station so you can fuel up and purchases snacks and other necessities. Only negative was that our tv kept disconnecting from cable service, but the staff was great and rectified the issue and there is no full length mirror in the rooms Otherwise, great stay.
