The room was very clean. The night attendant (maybe the owner?) was efficient and friendly. It was pretty noisy all night because of speeder/drag racer traffic on the busy road right in front of the hotel, but if I was in a room on the back side I wouldn’t have been bothered by it. All in all a good stay.
