10/10 Excellent
"The airport shuttle is greatly appreciated, but I had trouble with the link showing the current status of the small bus/lg van. When I reported it, I learned one needs to tap the arrow on the R to remove the spinning icon and see the map. My room is very comfortable and I enjoy the view. It's clean, and I feel safe. Despite flights landing often, I don't hear them (probably due to the dan running). I had to leave very early, or I would have enjoy some breakfast. The room has a mini-fridge, but no microwave. I did enjoy walking the paved Bayshore Trail. Yes, I would stay here again."
