SERVICE & CHECKIN -- Helpful, attentive, & professional staff. The checkin speed can be improved by I was satisfied with the customer service & hospitality here. Early checkin is available for free & late checkout of 30m was offered.
Parking is available albeit a bit expensive.
LOBBY, ELEVATOR, CORRIDORS -- The lobby area is quite large, has visibly high cleaning standards, & feels very inviting. Elevators are speedy, spacious, & well-maintained.
Corridors are wide, have a great design aesthetic & frequent upkeep.
ROOM (walkthrough) -- I like that they've opted for a do-not-disturb magnet instead of the flimsy & unsanitary door-knob paper signs.
The relaxation theme is very strong & well-executed; scents, textures, & stock create an incredibly calming, upscale apart-home vibe. The units are spacious for 2 or more with tons seating options & tabletop space. Lighting is excellent, the flooring is well-maintained, & the windows (although not functional) were clean and nice for people watching.
Cons: The AC is capped & not very performant. Strange HVAC design here.
BED -- Some of my best sleep I've had in months.
Very supportive mattress with a great firmness level. Cozy, comfortable, & soft bedding. High cleaning standards.
The bed side USBC outlets were a major plus.
Cons: the bed is directly under a vent which some might find unpleasant if you prefer more indirect vs direct air blowing on you.
BATH -- Medium-sized Eco-friendly bathroom with motion activated lights & great water pressure throughout.
The shower is very streamlined but pre-stocked with Pharmacopia bathing products.
Cons: towels are on the smaller side; no bathrobe; single spray pattern shower head
WI-FI -- Complimentary Wi-Fi is unencrypted but very performant.
Great for multiple devices & use cases.

FOOD & DRINK -- Not DoorDash friendly, but there's a full kitchenette at your disposal containing dining-ware sets for 4, double-burner stovetop, & full-sized microwave-- I made some delicious hot pot!
They do offer breakfast but it's chaotic & poorly implemented. The crowd/lines back up to the elevator, the seating area is very limited, & the spread is odd (lots of starches w/few condiments).
NOISE -- Not one of their strengths...
Walls are thin & sound leaks in heavily from the hallway. While the ceilings are high, noise echoes loudly due to the hardwood flooring.
Get the highest floor possible & pray for quiet neighbors.
VERDICT
Not the quietest place to staycation but the accommodations & hospitality make it worthwhile.
I would stay here again & recommend it to anyone considering the airport area.
4/5⭐️
