Ugly room, but close to the airport. I wouldn’t stay there for more than 12 hours. At check-in they asked me for a $60 deposit and never returned it, which is the same amount I paid for one night. In other words, I spent $120 on the worst hotel in the area. I do not recommend it.
Clean room, friendly staff and proximity the airport.

Location was great and staff was nice. Rooms were a bit outdated and our room keys both were useless after check in so we had to reprogram them multiple times.

Didn’t even make it into the parking lot without the desk, clerk coming out yelling at me telling me I couldn’t park my truck which was an F450 in there because it was too big even though there were plenty of parking spots. My wife was on the phone with me and heard him berate me and tell me to leave And that he could refuse service to me. Worst hotel experience of my adult life.
