Onto the Next
I had to move rooms twice because the first 2 had ants throughout them. The 3rd room didn’t have ants but there was a huge recluse spider crawling on the headboard. It was an uncomfortable experience. Definitely wouldn’t recommend.

Staff were most accommodating.
Property is convenient to airport.
No complaints about cleanliness.

It was good for a layover. Note that the airport shuttle does not run all day but this seems to be typical of the area. Staff was kind and quick.
