“While the building shows its age and occasional odors are noted, rooms are clean and beds comfortable, plus the staff-especially Missy-wins praise for outstanding service; breakfast extends beyond the basics with hot options and plenty of choice. However, the airport shuttle, a prime amenity, could use an upgrade to accommodate demand, and early breakfast hours might not suit all schedules. Overall, it's a practical option prioritizing guest needs, balanced with some operational limitations.”
