8/10 Good
"Check-in went smooth and room was quite clean. Location was good. Our only complaint really was some noise issues. The refrigerator in our room was quite loud with a significant rattle as it cycled on and off. There was also a lot of noise coming from the hallway as well as the parking lot outside until close to midnight, which was a little disappointing as we were trying to sleep so we could get up early for an event the next day. If there weren’t other nearby options, we would likely stay here again if we were back in the area. However, considering there are so many other options nearby, we’d probably give something else to try next time."
