The rooms are fine. The convenience is great! I have never stayed during non-Covid times, so I really don't know what it will be like when things open up. There are glorified food carts on the lobby level that get the job done; however, the hours were limited some of the times we were there. I don't think I have ever been there when the bar was open so I can't give feedback on that.
Sometimes I pay for the runway view rooms if I am going to be there when there is daylight; however, during early Covid months there wasn't that much to see except a bunch of parked planes. It's worth going up to the pool level in the a.m. on a nice day. Bring a jacket as it can be windy. The view is kind of cool.

I wonder if our floor had its carpet cleaned or replaced or something? My wife and I didn't understand the carpet thing. We were in room 384, all the way at the end of the hallway. We read so many reviews about nasty carpets in the halls but they looked fine. Many of the reviews mention that there are even signs saying something like "sorry for the nasty carpets but they are originals and can't be cleaned" -- but we didn't see any of that. Color me clueless.
