It had been several years since I had been here and it seems to have declined a bit. The area around my room was very noisy all hours of the night. I didn’t leave feeling rested at all.

It was fine for a quick overnight stay. It was just what I expected for the price. Clean and mattress was comfortable. Pillows were very lumpy. Outside was well lit so I felt safe taking my dog out for late night/early morning potty breaks. Would have been nice to have grassy area for the dog, but it was ok. Dumped mattresses were unsightly.
