The hotel is well located for airport arrivals and departures, and is also dog-friendly. We also chose this hotel for the Enterprise car rental desk in the lobby - much more convenient. If you're peckish, try the chicken soup - it was a culinary surprise, and I would go back just for that!

I was very nervous about it being an “airport hotel”. However it was very clean & nice! We paid additional for the mountain view & was worth it, absolutely breathtaking. Also the mall is connected to the hotel so very convenient for quick bite at the food court.
