    Sherman at the reception made my stay perfect. He is phenomenal. He was the person that checked me in, addressed all my questions during my stay and was there on check out. Seek him out if you ever need a reliable person with reliable updated info...

    The location was very good - close enough to the airport. But I was disappointed that there was nothing but muffins for a take-away breakfast when I had to leave to catch my flight before the regular breakfast was available.
