Conveniently located and clean, but thin Walls

Hotel was nice and new. Very Strong smell in hallways. Smelled lik3 carpet cleaner x 100. So if you or your family have odor sensitivity, spend the extra 20 bucks and go elsewhere. Also, paper thin walls. If your a light sleeper then good luck. Comotion outside woke me up several times d3spite being on the 3rd floor. A couple back and forth fighting all night in the parking lot. Inside the hotel was quiet. Everything else was great, but i personaly would not stay again. Not even for the great price.
