personnally I have stayed at the wingate the last 3
attempts, My fourth attempt however I'm staying at
the sheraton. For the price you get a nicer hotel in
my view, it's just not as close.

Last time I stayed there My room smelled like old
socks and cigarettes and it was supposed to be a
non-smoking room...Wasnt too impressed, but they got
it right two out of 3 times :)
