Really fantastic location that is walkable to everything you need and very affordable. Staff was friendly and helpful. There is no airport shuttle but it only takes about 15 minutes to get there via ride share. Buffet breakfast was a great way to start the day with a ton of variety and options. Rooms were very warm in the winter and often needed the circular fan that was included.
