A fine, clean, modern hotel, but the location is nuts! If you haven't rented a car, you are stuck with a $100 taxi ride from the airport! No apparent alternative way, no bus, no train, no shuttle. Other than that, a very solid, albeit, kind of isolated hotel.

They charge an extra "cleaning fee" of $35 AFTER you check in! Place is very noisy; has a community kitchen they ask that you clean your dishes if you dirty them (what's the "cleaning fee" for?) Place worked for one night in a pinch but wouldn't recommend it for a longer stay.
