It was the quietest, darkest room that I have ever stayed in. I slept 11 hours and never heard a door, an elevator or a person the whole time I was in my room. The bed was very comfortable and had 4 body pillows, which was awesome. The seating area for watching TV was also very comfortable.

Nice, clean, close to Interstate.

We were supposed to get a $15 food voucher at the restaurant on site and it was not open as they were short-staffed.
