We chose this since it's relatively close to the airport. They were short staffed, so it took a while to get checked in, but the clerk was friendly and did what she could. I felt badly she was on her own with people lined up. Elevator is very, very slow. Seems like an older hotel, but it was clean, we slept well, and was sufficient for our needs.

This is an older hotel that has been well maintained. The staff were helpful. Our room was clean and the beds were comfortable. On the down side, being an older hotel, their rooms are not as sound proof. Their breakfast was not worth the cost.
