The noise from the road kept me up while trying to sleep. I heard every car, motorcycle. There is not enough noise barriers in the outer walls of the building. I woke up tired.

Nothing Special

Comfortable, but the rooms are not at a $300 a night level. Average decor, I've stayed in better for under $200.
