Stayed here for a quick overnight trip to be close to the airport. The free shuttle and location was what made me choose this site. Hotel is big and clean, the usual amenities. Staff was nice enough and check in/out was efficient. My room was directly next to the freeway, like that was the view from my only window! Which is somewhat noisy, but my upstairs neighbors were much louder! Bring headphones. Got coffee and a snack in the morning and got outta there. Although the free shuttle is convenient, it’s not exactly easy or on time. Driver was nice but stressed. I would recommend this place for families with kids (there’s a pool and lots of space to run around) or a solo traveller who doesn’t mind noise. I’ll try another hotel next time.

Nice room. Good breakfast. Convient free shuttle to the airport with a very nice driver. My only issue was I couldn't get the wifi to work, but the selection of television channels made up for it.
