"This was my fourth stay , but unfortunately I was disappointed with the room this time as it was closest to the intersection which had a lot of road noise during the night and early hours of the morning, so we had disturb sleep. Next time I will definitely ask for a room on other side or not near the corner. Otherwise room is clean and comfortable and handy location"
