I needed a room overnight and I needed a place with an early shuttle to the airport. This place fit the bill! Beautiful facilities, easy check in/out with very friendly and helpful staff. I requested a shuttle for 5:00 am and she was early! Again - super friendly and quick ride to the airport! Thanks for making my life easier!
