"This hotel was in a very good location. To use the free airport shuttle from the domestic airport call the hotel ahead. This hotel is located right across the street from the international airport. This is great to catch the train to get to anywhere. Very convenient. My room faced the airport. It was really neat to see the planes land and take off. Great place. Friendly staff too "
