Pleasant. It was enjoyable and relaxing. Expensive but close to the airport and downtown. Not much traffic in the commute. Breakfast is bad unless you like scrambled egg from powder and synthetic fake sausage bread slices. Excellent staff.

Room was phenomenal. It was cheap, room was modern and comfortable. It is a motel style establishment but an extremely good one. The bathroom lighting and shower was the best out of all the places on our recent trip (10+ hotels).
