This hotel is very close to the airport and only a 5 min complimentary shuttle ride away but this only runs 7 am until 6 pm so available for flights arriving in the evening. Other transport providers charge about $15 pp and although the taxi fare is only $10 drivers are not very enthusiastic to do the short trip. Rooms... More

I have stayed in this hotel in May 2012 for 3 nights, my room was very clean and comfortable, breakfast nice, location excellent. Internet connection was acceptable.They even gave me free lift to the airport on the way back. Overall I was very happy with this hotel considering very reasonable price I paid.

We stayed here for two nights prior to a cruise departure. Arrived at the airport and called the hotel for our shuttle. oops - the shuttle stops at 5pm. Good to know. It wasn't that way when we booked the hotel in November. We took a town car from the airport....big mistake. paid $25 but we were tired and didn't... More

We stayed here for 2 nights in March. We were given a room on the ground floor across from the laundry. It was very noisy due the fact we were near the laundry but the noise the heater made was even worse. it sounded like a jet plane every time it strated up. There was also a lot of noise... More

I regret that you didn’t enjoy your stay. I would like to address your comments. Our in-house laundry machines operate quietly and only during the daytime. The heating and cooling units in our guestrooms are powered by typical low noise blower fans. If there was a specific issue with the blower in your room we would have been happy to... More

It is a standard Best Western hotel, but the street in front of the hotel is quiet busy during the night, and the acoustic isolation is not very good. If possible choose higher floors.

Spent one night at this street side hotel that gave you the priviledge of hearing every car pass by, as well as airplanes, ALL night long. OK, so you say it's noisy what about the hotel.

I am sorry you got the wrong impression of our hotel. Unfortunately, some street noise is unavoidable in any city hotel and some guests are more sensitive than others. We do offer white noise “sleep machines” for those guests. We are not in the flight path and do not normally experience any airport noise. Cleanliness is one of our guests’... More

This was a pleasant two night stay. The room was large and well equipped. The breakfast was satisfactory, though it did lack space at busy times. There is an underground (not secure) parkng facility.
