Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's prime location near the airport and the convenience of the free shuttle service. Many found the staff to be friendly, helpful, and efficient, with several reviews highlighting positive experiences at check-in and with the shuttle drivers. The breakfast buffet received favorable mentions for its quality and variety. Some guests appreciated the spacious rooms and felt the hotel offered good value for the price. However, there were recurring comments about dated rooms, maintenance issues, and occasional lapses in service, but these did not overshadow the overall positive impressions.

Cons (-) One can not check out and subsequently have breakfast. And, of corse, when I got through with breakfast the check out line had a half dozen people in it and when I tried to check out earlier I was the only one in line. Will not stay at this property again.
