A overnight stay before catching the flight back home. The area felt unsafe maybe because the strangers hanging out around area, I had to keep looking out the window to check on the car.

Puffin Inn had a shuttle from the airport which was nice. Check in process was efficient. The facility is pretty old. Our room is small but everything seems clean. We arrived middle of the night and leaving before lunch so not spending much time at the hotel or area to comment on proximity to activities.

Staff, location, cleanliness are fantastic! Breakfast put out at 5am for early travelers.
It is an urban location, which suits me great for convenience of food, transportation, the Inn has a dependable shuttle to the airport not far away; but it's not for folks who want to get away into the woods.

Conveniently located close to the airport. Has shuttle service, which is great. Very clean. Good breakfast. But very noisy. The windows don’t prevent the traffic noise reaching you. The hotel is located on a triangle, so there is traffic from two streets.

This facility is only 4-5 minutes from the airport with free shuttle service. It is quite large and spread out, so it can require some walking from the main building to the annexes. My room was fairly small but adequate. It was clean and met my needs. The hallway and elevator carpets needs cleaning or replaced. Service was excellent.

Waited a while for the desk clerk to check me in. Parking and location of room was a distant. Room was very small and cramped. Noisy air conditioner. Ok for a budget
