This hotel is amazing, breakfast was decent, & cleaning was AMAZING.
Pros:

This is the second time we book at this place. I love even more the housekeepers, they left my room super clean and it smelled like fresh laundry whenever they would clean it.

No Weekend Airport Shuttle
Pros:

Be warned if you are booking this hotel specifically for the airport proximity and shuttle service. While the property sells itself as an airport hotel, they do not run their airport shuttle on weekends. I explicitly booked a room here based on the advertised shuttle availability, only to find out upon arrival that it wasn't running. This restriction is completely omitted from the IHG website. I had to scramble and pay out of pocket for a taxi to make my flight. It was a very frustrating and disappointing experience due to the lack of transparent information.
