I like the fact that the hotel was located near the interstate. I did not like the fact that my room was located near the lobby and so I could hear people talking in the hallways and walking around while I am trying to sleep.

The person that was staying next-door had a broken door. So he had to slam it every time he went out, which was very annoying in our room right next-door if the staff knew that that door was broken why didn’t they put us in another room?
