I want to be fair, but Inwas disappointed. The hotel was clean and relatively modern and the staff was friendly. That however could not make up for the noise of the hotel. Even in the quieter room requested highway noise was present and we were unlucky enough to have children running above us and jumping up and down until very late at night. We were offered a room change but it is not easy to change rooms and things improved after talking to the front desk. The breakfast was chaotic and standard. The hotel was decent but we are an older couple and put a premium on quiet during our holiday visit. I expected better considering the price of the hotel compared to comparable properties!
