When a hotel puts sets of earplugs in the room, it’s usually a bad sign. Other guests, loud hvac unit cycling on and off all night; many working crews staying there who were up and moving/making noise very early. Room was clean; bathroom was good and newly updated; pillows were hard, foam slabs. Average overall.

Management does not include blankets in the room. The bed has only a top-sheet and bed cover. Didn't discover this until after a shower on a chilly night.. Office staff was very polite - at midnight - and offered me a thin blanket. I asked for a second blanket and the desk clerk provided that as well.
