You get what you pay for…
First night was a nightmare. We were in room 146 and the bed was literally one of those very cheap spring beds that hurt your entire body. Even the edges were hard as heck. The pillows SUCK! They are the smallest thinnest things ever. The people above us were so loud they kept us up late and woke us up early, the bathroom was also pretty outdated. The front desk was so very helpful with changing us rooms however there wasn’t a lot of options so we were moved to the 700 building. The room itself was so much better however it was right next to the tram and that thing runs ALLLLLLLL NIGHT. Although these are non smoking rooms the person 2 doors down was continuously smoking outside of his door and disposing of his cigarettes on the floor. So that stunk. The breakfast was just bacon, sausage, potatoes, bread and scrambled eggs. Definitely not something to eat daily if you’re on a couple day trip. I wish they had some cereal atleast. I would likely not stay here again.

Not bad overall
The place itself was cool. The airplanes are louder than I expected. It is close
To the airport. The water pressure is just okay. The temp control in the shower is horrible. It went from one extreme to the next my whole shower. The cleaning crew needs to be slapped. There was piss all over the tile floor around the toilet. On tile like that when it stands out like that. Get a Clorox wipe or something. That was pretty disgusting. Totally unsatisfactory!!!! By the way. When homeless people go through your outside trash at night. Have stuff around to clean it up. Trash can near the ice machine by the lobby was emptied all over the ground Saturday morning.

Nice comfortable stay
Love staying here, feel safe and can park the car right outside the room. Very convenient for us older adults. The rooms are old but very clean and the beds are comfortable. No complaints.

They charged $15 for parking, even for a one night stay. It's listed as "TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX" but the clerk said it was a Parking Fee. I was told that it was in the Expedia information. I looked and never found anything that said there was a fee for parking. Otherwise the place was fine and had a good breakfast.

Room smelled like marijauna and was very outdated. Bed was comfortable. It was ok for the price. I don’t understand why they charge for parking. They have plenty, just another way to make a buck.
