A nice room for a quick overnight stay while on the highway. A little on the expensive side, but it seemed to be slim pickings when we booked. Aside from the cost no complaints

The underground room was lovely. Nice and dark just the way I like a bedroom. Could hear other doors closing in the distance though. Was not overly disturbing.
