Enjoyed it & would recommend
Pros:

Everything was great. Really enjoyed the breakfast and the location. Hotel was pretty clean as well.

Cons:

The only complaint is our carpet was very wet. We were on the first floor, we had friends staying on floors 2 & 3 and theirs were not so I’m not sure if there was just something going on in our room or the whole first floor. I did let the front desk know when we checked out. Our room had a bit of a musty/stale smell I’m assuming because of the dampness.

The pool and the breakfast were excellent. Hearing the planes take off not excellent.
Pros:

I liked the pool access as well as the breakfast in the morning

Cons:

Did not realize how close to the airport it was so the planes taking off and landing could be heard from our room.
