Has anyone tried the sleep inn shuttle from the airport to the hotel? Do I call the hotel when I get there or do I give them a time of my arrival and they will pick me up, or do i simply wait until i see them?

It'll probably cost you $20. That's the usual hotel charge for a pick-up. Then again, it's an American chain so maybe it's free.

Why don't you contact Interbus shuttle instead. It's $6.

Doubt you will find many on this board who have used it. The attitude they display toward mongers coupled with the chica fee they impose makes most guys avoid the place.

Most hotels take your flight info and have the van meet the flight. If you had to call them when you arrived it could take them as long as 30 minutes to get to the airport. Most customers do not want to wait especially if they do charge you.

This is a last minute trip and I didn't get my advance in that is why I'm not using interbus. I am getting in and taking off for Tabacon before any mongering so the sleep inn works for me. I will probably be at the amon after that.

Although I did not take the Sleep Inn shuttle from the airport to the hotel, I took the shuttle from the Inn to the airport. There was no charge. They told me next time e-mail my flight time, and they will be there.

I just tried to book with them on the phone. They would not set up the shuttle until I officially boooked my room. They also told me they didn't have any rooms for the weekend. But I told them they had rooms online. They said call back when I had the confirmation number. When I did get the confirmation number, they kept hanging up on me. Here's to great service.

Actually, I called Choice Hotels and they called the sleep inn to make sure that they picked me up in a shuttle. However, when I arrived, there was no shuttle to be found. A taxi driver called the hotel for me. The hotel told the taxi driver that they would pay for my fare to the hotel. So everything worked out.
