"Early morning plane .it was a great place . It was great to wake by the airport . leave your in the hotel lot and a shuttle takes you t"

The Elms Hotel & Spa, a Destination by Hyatt Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were incredibly kind, observant and helpful. The room was very clean. Shower tiles could use some maintenance, but they were clean. The Three Owls restaurant/bar was excellent, although severely understaffed. But those working were very nice, and the food and drinks were excellent. I will definitely be returning, and I will recommend to friends and family."
