Seems like a dead end area! The hotel was in the middle of nowhere with nothing interesting to do or see.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveller

Was only there for late arrival at airport and left by Amtrak next morning. Pretty stupid that with the station rignt next to tbe carpark I had to get a bus back to the airport to get to the station. Wouldn't have stayed there if I had known.
