"I liked everything about my room. Everything was clean. The only downside is my room was located next to an exit and the door was very loud when opened and closed. Also, the light outside the exit door lit up my room when all the lights were off. Some might like that but I like a dark room. Noise was fairly minimal. Overall, was a good stay."
