We didn't need a wheelchair accessible room, yet we were put in one, right at the front on the building. All night you heard loud talking, doors shutting etc. The temperature control was janky...either too hot or cold. At one point the room filled with the smell (& smoke) of someone smoking weed outside. The bed was hard as a rock. Neither of us got much sleep before our flight out the next day.

The view from the room was absolutely beautiful, and I loved how close it was to the airport with the complimentary shuttle, but also, it was remarkably quiet. It’s not mentioned, but it’s also next door to a historic park which was nice to walk through and sit by the water. The front office was small and I was skeptical, but I highly recommend getting a room with a view, request the third floor if you’re able!

While the rooms did indeed get a makeover and much needed at that, it's still very much a facility that is consistent with the price that you pay.So ask yourself, what are they charging?And you'll probably get what's equivalent for that price point.

The shuttle and driver were good. The issues started at the hotel. There was an odor of burned marijuana near the office, which does not inspire confidence. The room were supposed to be non smoking, but there was a strong odor of cigarette smoke in the room. The ceiling paint was peeling in large spots. The cleaning showed a lack of attention to detail with dirt on the baseboards and in corners, and there was a large stain on the couch.
