My stay at the hotel was comfortable and quieter than most, despite some maintenance and personnel issues at 1:30 am. The location was convenient, being close to the airport and offering free shuttle service. However, the dining experience was below average, which let it down a bit.

The rooms were comfortable, but my first stay had a poor tub that leaked badly. Despite that, I found them quieter than most hotels. The nearby options for dinner like the great arepas across the street or Waffle House next door were a nice touch.
Service

The service was friendly, efficient, and helpful, especially between all of our scheduled attractions. However, there were slight hiccups like staff seeming unfamiliar with the route to breakfast before 9:30 am.

The hotel's location near the airport with free shuttle service within 5 miles to major malls was convenient. It was in a good, safe area, and despite being close to the airport, it wasn't affected by air traffic noise.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were not as expected, with old furnishings and a small bathroom in need of maintenance. On the bright side, the service was friendly, but the location might not suit everyone's needs. The dining options were decent, and the facilities offered some enjoyment.

The hotel rooms were plenty spacious and clean, stocked with fresh towels and amenities, but the bed was not very comfortable. The service was professional and helpful, despite a small room booking confusion. The location, though heavily used with a lack of decor, was surprisingly good for our short stay. The dining was a mix of poor and surprisingly good options. Overall, a decent stay with some areas to improve.

I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. The rooms were cold due to overactive air conditioning, made a terrible noise, and smelled really bad. On the bright side, the service was efficient and knowledgeable, but the loud early morning talking was a downside. The location, while extremely crowded, made the stay worthwhile despite the noise. The dining options were basic, with some issues like a soured carton of milk.
