| The Corsair Suite | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Chance-Vought F4U Corsair was the best fighter plane in the Pacific Theater during World War II. It could out-perform any Japanese fighter in all but a tight-turning dog-fight, but it made up for this with superior speed, climb, and fire-power. Because of the unique sound made by the unusual inverted gull-wing in a dive, the Japanese called the Corsair "Whistling Death." |

| Powered by a 2,000 horsepower Pratt & Whitney Double Wasp radial engine, the Corsair carried either six .50 caliber machine guns, or four 20 mm cannons -- providing a devastating punch against the more lightly armored Japanese aircraft. (Click here to watch a wartime Corsair training video.) The Corsair combined the largest possible engine with the smallest possible airframe, with some versions achieving 470 mph in level flight. It was widely used in the Korean War as well, with production continuing until 1952. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Our non-smoking Corsair suite echoes those long-ago days of World War II, combining the most value into a relatively compact package. Our smallest and least expensive aviation theme suite, at 300 square feet it still looms large by comparison to most hotel suites. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| With a full kitchen, you can enjoy a home-cooked meal, or take advantage of room service and let us do the cooking! And, of course, each morning you will enjoy our signature delivered-to-your-suite continental breakfast, made up of a variety of fresh bakery, fruit, coffee, tea, and the morning newspaper -- all at no extra charge. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Starting at just $69.95 per night! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
