Microtel is the simple night by the airport. A free continental breakfast, a free airport shuttle and suites with a microwave and fridge, about 5.1 road miles from the terminal by our routing.
It gives you less to plan with than most. Wyndham charges for parking without printing the amount, doesn't print check-in times, and lists the shuttle without hours.
The Fairfield matches its score and edges ahead because it parks free — a printed price, not a promise to ask about.
Call for the parking rate and the shuttle hours before you book, not at the desk.
