Guests consistently highlight the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms, as well as the free airport shuttle. The hotel's breakfast is also frequently mentioned favorably, described as a good continental breakfast with hot and cold options, and even better than most.

The property was fairly new, clean and comfortable. It was extremely easy to get to the airport to return my rental car, prior to my flight departure. The AC fan in my room was a bit noisy. If I had stayed longer, I would have asked to have maintenance come and look at it. The front desk staff weren't overly warm, friendly or welcoming. The women who checked me in were OK. However, the man who checked me out early in the am was not friendly at all. When I asked for a printed receipt, he acted as if it were a major task. I was the only one checking out at the time. I have stayed at many Marriot's. These things would not prevent me from doing so again. However, I would hope the staff will receive additional training on customer service.

We stay here every time we fly and have always enjoyed it. Clean and quiet. We like that there is a shuttle to the airport and you can leave your car at the hotel. All the other times we stayed the parking was free while on our trip, today they charged $40 for it which is still cheaper than the airport parking for the length of our trip. The cheapest lot at the airport is $7 a day. The hotel is conveniently located for the airport. Cold breakfast is served at 4 am and hot breakfast starts at 6am. Good coffee.
