Free Shuttle to the Airport was the main reason chose this motel. Bed was a bit on the hard side, but have slept on worse. Lack of stove top a bit of a pain if you stayed more than one night and wanted to boil an egg etc there aren't many restaurants nearby

We chose this motel because of the early shuttle bus to the airport. We were there for one night on a ground floor. The only problem was whoever was upstairs were moving around for most of the night. However, overall it suited us and was fine.
