I got my Commercial single there. Small FBO-type atmosphere. The front office folks, especially Noleen who is in charge of scheduling, are very helpful. They have a courtesy van to pick you up from the airport and take you to nearby hotels if you are from out of town and need transportation. They also have rooms to rent for $20/night at one of the CFI's houses.

Planes seemed to be constantly in maintenance but they have enough planes there was always a replacement available if there was an issue with the plane I originally booked, and I was never pressured to fly anything I didn't feel safe about. Quality of instruction varies with the instructor- my CFI, a Filipino(?) fellow named John, was pretty good. I would probably go back again if needed.
