Comfortable
Pros:

Decor touches such as the bedded clean and soft. The lighting soft and I loved the mirrors and light and chair.

Cons:

The breakfast options or the menu, I felt the hot food selection needs to be extended. The doors connecting rooms need extra noise reducing barriers added that’s fire resistant and stripes under the doors and connecting doors to reduce roaches.

Horrible Airport Shuttle Service – Extremely Disrespectful Treatment

I had a terrible experience with this hotel’s airport shuttle service. After traveling all day, I arrived at the airport and called the hotel at 11:30 p.m. to arrange my pickup. The hotel already knew I was arriving, but the person who answered the phone was extremely rude. He told me I had to go to baggage claim and figure out where to wait, without listening to my location or making any effort to help me.
I found the correct hotel shuttle pickup area, where I took photos and saw many other passengers waiting for shuttles to different hotels. When the driver arrived in the left lane, everyone tried to flag him down, including me, but he drove away without picking me up.
I called the hotel again and was told it would take more than 30 minutes for the shuttle to return. It finally arrived after midnight. I got into the van, exhausted after traveling all day, only for the driver to get out and start talking to a woman while I waited inside. I have a video.
When he asked how everything was, I told him honestly that the experience had been horrible because he had left me behind. Later, he admitted that he had seen the line on the right and had chosen to drive through the left lane instead... He explanation did not excuse the situation. It was extremely disrespectful and completely unacceptable.
When I finally arrived at the hotel, there was nobody at the front desk, so I couldn’t even speak to a manager or anyone who could address my complaint.
I paid $140 for this experience, and the service was absolutely not worth the money.
Just book another hotel. After a long day of traveling, you deserve to be treated with respect and receive the service you were promised.
