Express check in and staff is friendly and professional. The downside is left over foods not cleaned out from previous guests and appearantly the cleaning staff missed it. Also, the room is not sound proof. The kids were running on the hall way and randomly knocked on the door until 10pm. Finally thought you could have a good sleep and loud machine noise feom the street and last almost an hour. Other than that, hotel is in good condition.
