Was very clean. Bed was comfy although opted for the single as the double seemed a bit too slept in. A lot of road noise as well as people checking in/arriving late and could hear talking. Apart from noise was good value and cleaner than a lot of hotels/motels I've stayed in

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location of the property was convenient but a little unsafe. There was a random guy who looked like he was on the gear knocking on my door late at night. Bed was super uncomfortable and felt and heard the springs as you lay or turn while sleeping plus it has sunken in. Room was dirty and smelly.
