Recommended Hotel: Best Western Plus
Why: Best Rates, Free Parking, Free Breakfast
The two hotels near transit here are the Holiday Inn and Best Western Plus. The Best Western Plus has better rates at an average of $147/night, while the Holiday Inn consistently charges over $195 per night. Best Western Plus also offers free breakfast and limited free parking. While there’s nothing wrong with the Holiday Inn, you’ll spend more as the rates are higher and there are additional fees for both breakfast and parking. Across hundreds of online reviews, nothing particularly good or bad stands out about either hotel. For that reason, we recommend Best Western Plus simply because it is less expensive.
