Acclaim Hotel By CLIQUE
"Under renovation. Not terribly disruptive except 1 elevator closed off of r consturction use really slows things down. Surprising lack of business amenities in room for an Airport hotel (lack of USB and convenient outlets, for example.) Restaurant is glorious, however."

"Clean room and friendly staff overall. We reserved a roll a way cot for an additional fee, was a tight fit and the bed was HORRIBLE!!! My son couldn’t sleep on it. All the springs poked through. Do NOT recommend! Other than that we had a good stay."
