Great Place to Stay!
Very nice people at check-in and check-out. Very helpful with shuttle service to airport. Room was clean and comfortable, breakfast buffet offered a lot of choices and was ready for persons who had to leave hotel early. Very much enjoyed my stay and will book again when I'm in the area.

Friendly hotel clerk
It has the Hallmark channel. I just wish there was a grab bar by the tub and there was a flexible hose shower head

A great stay!
We were here just one night on a layover. We arrived after 11 PM and the front desk woman was very friendly, helpful, and just a pleasure. She gave us all pertinent information we needed to have a successful stay and catch the next morning’s flight. Room was very nice, clean, and comfortable.

Awesome
This was my 2nd time staying at this property & it went just as smoothly as the first time! The staff were very friendly and the rooms were clean and comfortable. They also offer free parking & complimentary continental breakfast which is always a plus. Will definitely stay here again when I am back in the area!

Shuttle Problem
The only complaint i have is that the shuttle from the airport was close to half an hour late. As the Aura was the final delivery spot, my arrival was late indeed.
