Very hard mattress & noisy until 10pm

The staff was great, but location right on the main road was very noisy. Fortunately it quieted down about 10pm. Room was clean and very nice... BUT... the bed was very, very hard. I could never stay here again due to the hard mattress.

The customer service was excellent. Everyone I interacted with were very helpful and friendly. I thought the bathroom could be cleaner. There was urine on the front of the toilet bowl and some weird stuff on the floor.
