Yep - the airport there was one of the few places I remember where you still had to walk to the plane
When I lived just north of there I ran down there about once a month, but refused to stay there as it was kinda run down (this was in the early 1980s so Im sure things have changed.)
Right near the place is the Hampton Inn - here's a good review of the place:

Note - there are a few popups on that site but nothing nasty
Of course if you get there 2 days early you can go see R Kellys show too LOL
