Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
The room was clean but not well space-planned. There was only one bedside table for two beds. The bathroom had empty space yet there was minimal space in the main room. The walls were very thin. We listened to our neighbors fighting and snoring. The connecting door let in too much noise and the smell of smoke from the adjoining room. There was plenty of parking, and we felt safe staying there.
