Nice new hotel, nice room and close to airport. Friendly staff. Free internet. Free breakfast. Surrounding neighborhood not so good, located across from a Men's club. Good value overall though.

I was most disappointed that this hotel is in the same category as the downtown Hilton or doubletree. There is no comparison, nor is it in a similar location.
