The room itself was adequate. Cinder block walls but functional and in a good location. The downside was the room was under the office and it sounded like it was being renovated upstairs. The work began very early in the morning and was very noticeable.

Mostly really good, although someone had obviously been smoking inside at some point previously; the carpet on one side of the bed smelled of old smoke. Otherwise nice and quiet.
