Rates: From $99 to $119 depending upon demand (as of December 2004).

Location Rating: The airport is close. There is nothing interesting here.

Lobby Appearance: Looks like somebody's living room with a sofa and two chairs. Music from radio station 104.5 FM plays softly. An 8 table breakfast room is next to the lobby. Everything looks new.

Room Appearance: There are 4 basic room types: single queen, double queens, king, king with sofa. Rooms are nice, clean and fresh. Updates to the rooms are coming soon, but they look fine.

Useful Nearby Businesses: Ruby Tuesday restaurant is across the street. A nice restaurant is at the nearby Embassy Suites. That's it.

Other Amenities: Free cookies in the lobby. Free coffee 24 hours a day. Free high speed internet access. Free airport shuttle every 30 minutes, 24 hours a day. They have a small indoor pool - maximum depth 4 feet - and a whirlpool (key card required for access). Rooms have a 26 inch TV, iron, ironing board, hair dryer. A security guard keeps watch over the parking lot. More security cameras will soon be installed.

Would I Stay Here? Yes.

Comments: If you are a "Marriott Rewards" member, you could become the "Guest Of The Day." They put your name on a welcome sign in the lobby and give you some goodies. They say people find it amusing.

The facility is 7 years old, but looks new. There are 109 rooms. One-third of the fourth floor rooms are set aside for smokers. Updates to rooms will begin in December 2005. But the room condition is excellent as it is. Corridor lighting is fine.

There are 7 hotels in this isolated location near the airport. This hotel and the Hampton Inn are the closest to the Ruby Tuesday's restaurant. There is no interesting scenery here.
