The room itself was pretty decent. The bed and pillows were super comfortable and the WiFi was fairly stable (only froze once during my video call which isn’t terrible for a hotel). But the property itself reeked of a pee smell (which I can only assume was actual pee). Though it was helpful that it’s right off the I5 it was so close that my nervous system couldn’t truly rest (constant noise/buzz). I was on the top floor yet was still awoken at 2 am with a loud neighbor that sounded like they were above me… and again a couple more times with more loud neighbors. Breakfast was subpar (everything was processed). And the gym was also very low quality.
