I stayed at the Hampton near the airport. I had no cash but the regular cabs take credit card. Some get snotty about the short trip. I was recommended the ride share app but it was less than useless. To get any attention you have to agree to run on the meter and offer a tip beforehand. There is so much work for the cabs from the airport that they really don't need the Uber-style business.
The Hampton was quite nice, great breakfasts, nice and clean and super service. They arrange a local non-argumentative cab back to the airport.
The drive into town can be murder once you hit the city-proper.I used the Hampton as a crash pad after a flight from NZ and was proceeding to Bodrum the next day.
