Room.was clean. Staff very friendly and social able. Stated if you need anything feel free to reach out. Convient to interstate, several nice restaurants really close by and convenient to I-77 & I -20..Hotel was full with boot camp guys and family, as every Thursday is graduation day at near Army base. So glad I had reservations. Asked for room end of hall, due to service dog had major surgery, but so much noise from people slamming doors and stuff up till 9:45 pm..
