The only big thing that happened was that I pre-payed for a King/Non-smoking room, and received a Q-Q/Smoking room. I could have changed rooms but didn't bother (since I worked at a cigar lounge). Other than that, nothing major. Just weird little quirks like... the phone label on the room stated we were in ROOM xxx but we were really in ROOM xxy, all the TV stations were incorrect on the laminated TV channel guide. The room was clean and comfortable so I would be ok staying here again if I was in town. Reasonable room for the low price. I have worked at 4-star hotels/resorts, so the quality was on-par with what was expected.
The first room we were shown was filthy. Linens not changed, bathroom not clean. Gross. When we complained we were shown another room not much better but since it was 1 am and we were exhausted we stayed. But definitely never would again. ANd the room charge was way too much!!
After booking a room with a double bed through Hotels.com with my wife and 15 year old son, we were told after arriving that all they had available was one queen size bed with no roll-a-beds available. The first night my son had to sleep on the chair. The second night we were moved to a room with a king sized bed, BUT. It was a first floor room and the curtain rod was broken and we couldn't close our curtains. Not good.

Beds needed fitted sheets
The hotel was right off the interstate and the beds were comfortable, but needed fitted sheets. We had two rooms with six adults and one child; however, there were only two sets of towels in each room and one bar of soap in each room. We noticed the lack of towels and they brought us more towels right away. The continental breakfast was very limited. They had two dry cereals, some honey buns and oatmeal cookies, coffee and orange juice. Overall the stay was clean and comfortable, but nothing fancy.

One night enough
Sheets were thin and wrinkled. Did not inspire confidence. Air seemed dusty. Stayed one night because I was already there.

Stayed one night but would stay again. Convenient next door restaurant and especially liked the fact that beach is within walking distance. Front desk attendants were very helpful and friendly.
Our team have had to stay in this area several times. Having stayed at or checked out the others the Airport Inn was the best of the limited choice in the area. Its only disadvantage for an almost new build is that the opportunity was not taken for internal corridors. Apart from that it's fine as an 'upper budget' hotel in every respect.
A small independent place this motel was friendly, clean, comfortable and convenient. Of the several places in the locality it is the one with the highest standards (we know, we have stayed in several of the others!)
I would just like to say the hotel was a good overnight hotel. We were there visiting for 2 nights with my brother. I was looking for a pet friendly hotel. The price was right. It is a 5 star for the money. Its a moderate price hotel.
Hotel is fine. A little hard to find, and the area around the hotel is dark and not worth visiting.
