We booked this hotel as it was close to the airport, had a reasonable price, and reviews said cleanliness was good. Agree with these. But if you are looking for airport shuttle which is suppose to be offered and free of charge, this is NOT the best option. Airport shuttle was limited to only 6 people so it is based on first come first serve basis. This should be stated in the hotel description. At check-in when we inquired on the shuttle and was told the shuttle was not available at our requested time, the response tone lacked professional courtesy. Holiday Inns usually have good service but we were disappointed here - airport shuttle is not a guarantee.
