The hotel was nice overall. But the walls are not thick enough, the room next to us had people fighting, yelling screaming door slamming all through the night and we had to call the front desk to complain. It was awful.

Facility was clean and everything looked new. My favorite part was the bed. So comfortable! The plan was to check in, then go back to town. Once I laid my head down for a few minutes, I knew there was no way I was going to go anywhere. Sheets, clean, bed nice and comfortable.
