Everything I like: Check.
I had to stay near the airport recently, which I’m NORMALLY loathed to do. I really don’t like the typical airport hotel chain nonsense, because I travel all the time. I want something personal. Something unique. Something local, and something delicious to eat. 
But it turns out there was this indie hotel with good reviews called Cedarbrook Lodge, so reluctantly I thought I’d try it…
I could not have been more pleased with the quality of the hotel, the room, the restaurant, or most impressively, the service. Other than not having a private balcony, it's everything I want in a hotel. 
GREAT bed. Comfy pillows and sheets. A window that fully opens in your room. A public area that provides (too) delicious snacks and drinks right near your room. Good coffee in the morning. Unique room décor (not weird, just different than every chain in the modern world). REALLY great restaurant (and I mean that – the food and presentation are both beautiful). And absolutely TOP NOTCH service across the board; the front desk, the wait staff, and the shuttle drivers (especially Mohammed) are all incredibly nice and accommodating. Truly. 
It shocked me just how much I loved this hotel, because I was prepared to NOT like it. You will. Really. And you’ll be moments away from the airport, thus avoiding cabs and car rentals and traffic nastiness. 
Man, I like this hotel. As for the missing balcony, all it takes is a 15 second walk out of your room, right outside to the nicest little public bench sitting area to chill, read, smoke, breathe, or just wonder how such a cool hotel made it so close to the airport.
