Hotel was fine besides one major issue. I stayed at this location because of a 4am shuttle service they offered to the airport, which never showed or doesnt exist. I say that because the front desk rep was so lost I couldn't get an answer out of him. He kept just repeating that someone messed up and talking about some other hotel. If you stay on site don't expect the shuttle for early flights.

Super close to the airport, yet very quiet. Newer building. The rooms are well appointed. Beds are comfortable.
