Hi Chris, I am also very curious about the supposed 3* boutique hotel in that zone. I'm pretty much banned from trying for 3.5* hotels near the airport because my boyfriend absolutely hates Crownes and refuses to let me risk getting it, though I honestly don't have a big problem with that Crowne. We have also stayed at the Crowne in Bloomington West, which I thought was a little bit nicer, but of course my bf hated it too! I think both are perfectly fine for most people though, myself included. Let me know if you ever discover the identity of the mysterious 3* boutique!
