wasn't to leased with the location of the room as it was on the second floor the furthest away from everything and directly across from the exit door on the second floor which was noisy when opened or closed.

Hotel was clean and felt safe, staff were very nice, and location was easy to get to from the airport. Decent continental breakfast but could use more protein options. Would stay again.
