Breakfast Delight

I truly enjoyed the hot breakfast buffet with diverse choices. From fluffy scrambled eggs to crispy bacon, everything was a treat, and the coffee was fantastic too! It's the best way to start the day when traveling.

Great Gym Options

The on-site mini gym was surprisingly well-equipped for a hotel. I found the upright bike perfect for my morning workout sessions, and it helped me keep up with my fitness routine during my stay.

Convenient Shuttle

The free airport shuttle service was a lifesaver for me. It was reliable and available around the clock, which made my late-night arrival stress-free. I really appreciated that they even provided wake-up calls to ensure I made my early flight.

Easy Parking Experience

I was pleased with the guest parking arrangement, especially the flat rate for extended stays. Knowing my car was secure on-site while I traveled was a huge relief, and the parking lot felt well-lit and safe.
