Just ok, noisy

The room was fine. It is located on a major street and unfortunately I had a room closest to the street (likely because I booked through a 3rd party). The street noise was quite loud, even using a white noise app. Was difficult to sleep.

Disliked: Cleanliness
This is was a terrible choice. Unsafe, parking area dimly lit & appeared to be a “1 hour motel”.undesirable people walking around The parking area and hanging out in front. I refused to stay there with my wife. We found another location where we stayed. I should get my money back for this Rxpedia recommended
