I try to stray from those right next to the airport, lest you want to hear planes landing all night. yellojkt: I'm actually more fond of the Courtyard myself, it's larger and more home-like. Their suites are excellent for week-long stays, especially the ones with the kitchenettes. Bilbo: But it’s across the street from the airport.

Directly across the street from the Holiday Inn is a Holiday Inn Express, at which I have also stayed. As near as I can tell, the only significant difference is that the full-up Holiday Inn has a nicer lobby, a better business center, and an in-hotel restaurant. The rooms are identical, and are cheaper at the Express. Go figure.
