Clean but had to wait at the front door. Doors were locked. We had to find a number to call for them to let us in the building. No one at the front desk when we arrived

A perfectly fine basic hotel, although my room was so close the highway, the noise was disturbing to my sleep. The manager kindly offered to bring ear plugs; I would have preferred an offer of a room change but perhaps none were abailable.
