    Can't beat the location. Staff was super nice. I was a bit worried since it was a 2 star hotel but it surpassed my expectations. Rooms/beds were nice. Bathroom was fine....everything was very clean. I heard no interior noise from other rooms (which is very rare). The last budget hotel I stayed in I could hear the TV, shower and conversations from the rooms near mine. We booked this hotel because we had very few choices for the dates we needed. But i would definitely stay here again even with other properties available.
