SSophiaSunNZBooked an early flight and stayed at the hotel the first day. The freshman went home during the winter vacation and just turned 18. The other hotel did not allow check-in. I temporarily changed to this hotel. I called the front desk in advance and confirmed that I could stay at the age of 18. The hotel's pick-up and drop-off service is great, there are a lot of delicious food around the hotel, and you can also order takeaway to the room. The free breakfast was actually served at 3 am, the room was very clean, very close to the airport. This experience was great and will come to live next time.

Eemcarp98It wasn't a bad stay. The rooms could've been a little cleaner in the bathrooms, but the beds were super comfortable. The pool and hot tub was nice, until a bunch of kids decided to dump bubbles into the hot tub. Their parents also just watched them do it, and said ”oh well”.
