The room was clean, and decor seemed newer. The female employee who checked me in was friendly, efficient and helpful. I felt very welcome. I had to take the shuttle early in the morning, and the driver was friendly but quiet, helpful. I was so grateful to be able to make it to my early morning flight ...
