We stayed here for two nights in May - our first night after landing late at night and our last night prior to a morning flight home. This was the most expensive hotel we used during our three week stay, however, the location was perfect being only minutes away from the airport. There is a free shuttle bus to take... more

I'm writing this review mainly to state a preference for this hotel over it's competitor next door. We stayed at both. We would choose either one of them only for convenience to the airport.

They can cash travellers cheques, have free internet use in the lobby and are in a great spot right next to the airport. The concierge is very helpful as well. There is a casino, dennys and chicken restaruant within steps of the hotel and... more
