"Room was clean and front desk people helpful. Hot breakfast (eggs, sausage, biscuits) +cereal etc. Note this hotel is very close to the interstate, and it is not quiet, at least the rooms facing it. Maybe the ones on the other side are quieter. If traffic noise will bother you, running the fan did not overcome the noise."
