10/10 Excellent
"VERY VERY clean and comfortable room! Staff is extremely friendly, and the lobby has all the comforts of home. 24 hour snacks, pool table, and esthetically pleasing public area with vibrant colors and comfy couches. We loved the free breakfast and 24/7 shuttle service to the airport. Also has a gym on property. Will definitely stay here again!"
