Room was large, clean and comfortable. Very conveniently located close to the airport with continuous shuttle service. First stay, we could take advantage of the breakfast buffet with excellent variety and plentiful. Second stay had early check-out before breakfast so the receptionist arranged for a generous snack bag of food to go. Denny's restaurant is right next door for any other meals. Although we didn't have time to use it, there was a gym and outdoor pool.
