Very convenient place to stay. Close to the airport, has an airport shuttle, and even free breakfast! Everything was clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. There is some traffic noise from being close to the freeway, but it’s not horrible. Someone could always run the air conditioner fan or use a white noise app if it’s really bothering them. I was happy with our stay here and would stay again in the future.
