"The hotel is convenient, located close to the airport, there is a free transfer to the airport, but it was impossible to sleep in the room because of the neighbors, very poor soundproofing, you could hear literally every rustle, the breakfast is very poor, but for its price it is very good, suitable for spending one night"

"We stayed here for two nights to drop off my kid at college. The hotel was very close to the airport, yet surprisingly quiet! Also, i was able to deliver some packages to the hotel and pick them up on the way to the college - very very convenient. Their recreation room, the gym and the pool are better than most other hotels we tried. The staff are super friendly."

"Booked an early flight and stayed at the hotel the first day. The freshman went home during the winter vacation and just turned 18. The other hotel did not allow check-in. I temporarily changed to this hotel. I called the front desk in advance and confirmed that I could stay at the age of 18. The hotel's pick-up and drop-off service is great, there are a lot of delicious food around the hotel, and you can also order takeaway to the room. The free breakfast was actually served at 3 am, the room was very clean, very close to the airport. This experience was great and will come to live next time."

"The staff was so friendly! We had a bit of miscommunication between the hotel and trip.com regarding payment, but they got it worked out quickly and the staff were quick to make things right for us! We enjoyed both the hot tub & pool and both were exactly what we needed!! The hotel was far enough from downtown to be peaceful but close enough that everything was accessible. The biggest thing that stood out was how accommodating the staff were. Absolutely recommend."
