SERVICE & CHECKIN -- Slow checkin speed but early checkin is available for free. Accepted forms of payment include tap/electronic (+ credit/debit) which helps speed up the process.
The employee that handled our checkin had a lifeless 🧟♂️ demeanor & didn't give me much to work with, so there's not much I can say about customer service. Bell service was slow (requesting towels).
LOBBY, ELEVATOR, CORRIDORS -- Clean & streamlined lobby, unlike the elevators which are small & too slow for a property with even 3 floors.
Corridors were clean but tight; shuffling past a cleaning cart while carrying your luggage can be awkward/annoying.
ROOM (walkthrough) -- My first impression was positive.
The bright color scheme + spacious design put me in a happy mood & I felt comfortable settling into the room.
There's obvious signs of wear/age (tattered shades, wallpaper stains, windows overdue for a wash) but the condition was more than tolerable.
Overall feature set is strong:
functional windows with abundant natural light, generous dedicated workspace w/ergonomic chair, convenient wall hooks, clean carpet, & ample storage.
Cons: Terminal AC unit is loud & the lack of recycling receptacles is a disappointment 💔.
BED -- We slept in a single king configuration.
I was impressed with the pillow selection: weighty with good texture.
The mattress wasn't my cup of tea. It lacked firmness & back support.
The bedding wasn't noteworthy either but it was clean & fresh.
BATH -- Small bathroom with sleek tiling & stone sink.
The shower head has a few extra spray patterns but the shower configuration is otherwise status quo: combination alcove tub w/ 3-piece (Dove) bath set.
Be prepared for the low toilet with obnoxiously loud flush.
Water pressure was strong throughout.
Cons: Towels are on the smaller side, No door stop installed for bathroom door (strange).
TV & ENTERTAINMENT -- ~50" Samsung TV on a premium mount with rotation & extension. Great for watching TV from the various seating options.
Ports are easily accessible for connecting a Google TV / chromecast if you decide not to use the DirectTV remote & set top box.
WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION -- Encrypted WiFi!
Very pleased with the security & performance. Verizon service was also strong & reliable enough in this area for hotspots.

FOOD & DRINK -- DoorDash friendly.
Microwave, mini fridge, & coffee bar in the room.
Free breakfast & a snack shop are available downstairs.
NOISE -- Housekeepers' chatter is louder than the planes taking off nearby!
The parking lot & highway traffic can be noisy too.
Combined with the loud plumbing & loud AC, this place is anything but peaceful.
LOCATION -- Just your typical cluster of hotels in an airport city. Felt safe enough.
RATING
It's a very noisy space & not for the obvious reasons, but the rooms are serviceable & competitively priced.
If you're noise-sensitivity, I don't recommend this property.
Otherwise, it's a fair low-end airport hotel.
3-3.5/5 ⭐️
