| - Needed a place to stay as my mother wasn't interested in driving the two hours home and I was beyond tired after flying. The price on this place was pretty good with a AAA discount, they claimed to have an airport shuttle, and breakfast.
I called after landing, stating I needed shuttle service as I was staying there. The girl simply said okay. I've stayed at a few places in the area so I know what they say for a pick up. What door to wait by, what the shuttle looked like, and eta. She gave me none of this and it was only after asking that I got the ETA. I can be a little irritable after flying so I chalked my feelings up to personal mood. The first thing the lady told me when she picked up is that they don't usually come to the airport and that she didn't even realize she had to pick me up until the front desk girl prompted her long after I called. The lady driving the van was very nice so that saved the ride for me.
The hotel itself doesn't have the most intelligent construction. The handicap spots are clear on the other side of the building away from the elevator. The "business center" is a exposed nook in the same hallway that people walk by. The front door is situated far away from any of the other parking spots with the side doors that you do park at being key card only (not a big deal) so you're walking in thru traffic to get to the front (big deal). The rooms aren't bad. Plus being a full kitchen with fridge, stove, and dishwasher. My mother remarked that it reminded her of a dorm room with the age of the furniture.
The manager's reception is a keg in the lobby, and the breakfast is continental. That's more of an FYI for this expecting more. This place isn't bad if you're looking for a clean place to stay close to Robinson, but it's nothing fancy. More Quality Inn than Embassy Suites, though the Quality I've stayed at has a bit more breakfast wise.
The poor man's Residence Inn. Not bad, but I've stayed in better.
