Airport-convenient hotel for a good nights sleep.
Airport hotels are always a gamble - but this one paid off. It was clean and comfortable and had very friendly and helpful staff. An airport shuttle is always helpful (although it doesn't run all night). However, the driver did drop us off at the off-airport car rental location directly in the morning, which was extremely helpful!

Repeat customer here. Excellent value for money.
I've stayed here several times. So my review is my continued business. They do offer free airport shuttle from 8 AM to 8PM. The motel is also located near some key bus stops for getting into around town, if one wants the public transportation option. And the management keeps things running smooth and clean. No complaints, and never any unpleasant surprises.
