There is inadequate insulation in the walls: voices & plumbing sounds were clearly audible. The surrounding area is rather rundown & unattractive otherwise the location was great for my needs.

We had a large room and large bathroom so it made it easy to maneuver in my wheelchair. It was called a Senior room. Larger fridge and freezer, table with 2 chairs and little sofa. Service was good. Checkin was great.
