We stayed here as we had an early morning flight the following day and the property provided free car parking for up to a week as well as a free shuttle to and from the airport. The people were friendly that we dealt with. The room looked like it had been recently renovated and was clean, tidy and spacious. I would stay here again for this same scenario.
