Stayed for 4 nights, was quiet, was next to a main road but it was ok. You have to request to clean the room, I would think that would be a given. Overall I would stay here again.

The overall property feels very modern and updated but they really need to change the carpeting in the halls. It definitely makes the overall look feel dated.
