Say to get to freeway access was close and the noise level was really quiet even though its right next to the airport. Rooms were clean and well kept. Prices were a little high but it was worth the price.

Great location, beautiful hotel and nice staff. Will definitely stay here again when traveling through. Not far from town with some very nice restaurants. Near the airport, but was very quiet.

Let me begin with something positive, the bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. Breakfast was acceptable. Day time front desk people were very pleasant.
However, there were ants and spiders in our room. When the toilet backed up they told us to come get the plunger. I was appalled that the guests are expected to plunge a backed up toilet!
