"Our room was clean. Bathroom was extremely small. Breakfast was Excellent! Lots of hot and cold foods. Plenty of parking. The only problem I personally had , was being so close to the airport, there were people coming and going all hours of the night. You can hear everything. If you're a sound sleeper, You will have no problem."
