I like the fact the hotel was a short distance from the airport and my family home, which i visited. Also, the breakfast was great. I did not enjoy the bed because it wasn't comfortable. The mattress needs to be replaced because it sunk in the middle. Also, the hotel doesn't have face towels. My wife and I used hand towels to take showers. Once the hand towels became completely wet, they were heavy. I wouldn't stay at this hotel again.

Covenant location for airport access

Staff was amazing. I had an early flight so location was very convenient, car rental right across the street and airport about a 10 min drive. Room was decent. I did not get the gentleman’s name but he was incredibly nice. Recommend places to eat and to visit.

Everything was fine about the property. I loved that they had a gym & electric charging out front. The desk people were very kind & told us what we needed to know during our stay like the quiet hours. The most disappointing part was THE BED. I woke up with multiple bug bites each night. It completely ruined all my outfits that required showing my legs. I’m disappointed to give this place such a low review because the room and the bathrooms were very clean but those bed bugs are no joke. Also we said no thank you to room cleaning & we still came back to our room cleaned. We left valuables out & it was really concerning that they came in after we declined service. I wanted to like this place but those huge factors are a big setback for me.
