They have a restaurant / bar there too. The shuttle service is free but it is the shuttle for an off airport parking lot (Avistar?) that is across the street from the hotel. There is no set van time in the morning, you have to wait for them to swing by as they continuously loop between the airport, parking lot, and the hotel. Given the rate, the rooms are good enough to get a decent night sleep. The shuttle service (being outsourced!) is the weak link here, especially for an early morning departure I would imagine.

I was also at the Best Western recently too. I watched a Cubs game at Shoeless Joes and that is a good joint for that as noted above. The crew rate out the door there was $68.40. The room was nicer than the Quality Inn and they have their own transportation.
