10/10 Excellent

I was delayed by snow from flying out of Yeager and booked this hotel as near to airport and had restaurant attached. Receptionist very polite, friendly and helpful, room was warm, very clean and comfortable, had everything I needed and more. Breakfast was included and worth having, free coffee/tea in foyer 24x7. Very impressed especially for the cost.
