No frills choice—very clean with a helpful and efficient desk clerk. Rapid check-in and good in-room WiFi. Near a major arterial so lots of traffic noise. Convenient. Only minutes from the airport.

Guy was arguing with me on the price works in the morning shift. A young guy learn how to talk to the customers and if you do not know anything you should keep quiet. He was arguing with me because of the deposit and I never gave any depositing that area I come all the time but he was on the parking space also in In hotels, there is free parking that he charged me $10 for parking that was not fair. I will never come back in that hotel again. There is no sense of talking.

If you need a hotel near the airport and close to the boat docks this hotel is a great option. Something I did not like was that you had to pay to park per day in the parking lot of a hotel you purchased.
