Booked the Commodore for a quick overnight and it was perfect. I arrived after midnight and was warmly greeted. The front desk even insisted on a porter for the bags as I was on the 2nd floor and there were stairs. I caught an early shuttle to the airport and it was ready on time. You can tell they care here and put effort into good service.

Clearly was a nice place when new and being maintained. Excellent service and supported shuttle service to the airport. But, they are allowing the hotel to fall into disrepair.

The Commodore is so convenient (especially being so close to the airport with free shuttle service) and has such wonderful staff! As others have shared, we highly recommend the Commodore. The rooms are quite pleasant (much better in-person than they appear online), there isn’t a lot of noise despite being so close to the airport, and there is a great range of offerings at breakfast.

Overall very happy with the hotel. Easy location and very friendly staff. Free shuttle is available all the time. The room is much bigger than I expected. The only problem is the mattress is too soft for me. It might be an issue for people who love firm mattresses. Otherwise it’s a good choice.
