Comfort Inn & Suites Northgate Airport
They have the thickest toilet paper in the bathroom that we had ever experienced! We were surprised that it was actually a sweet, with a small kitchen and a stocked wet bar. The staff was very nice and we really appreciated the complimentary shuttle the airport.
