Initially, the clerk gave us a non-handicapped room. After checking it and realizing it wouldn’t work, he traded the room for a handicapped friendly. The room was outside entry, and wasn’t noisy in spite of the heavy truck traffic among 50-287. The bed was comfortable. The main problems we had were the lack of a place to hang our clothes (had to use the shower curtain rod), and there was no bed stand on one side (I use a CPAP, and had to place it in a small suitcase to elevate it. I also despised having DirecTV in the room, and probably wouldn’t stay here again for that reason. It was complicated to use. We couldn’t get our favorite news channel- kept skipping over it- so I gave up and used my tablet with WiFi instead. The WiFi connection worked great! Not a bad room for the price.
