Decent stay, but some issues noted.

loud trafficoverly attentive staff
My stay wasn't terrible, but it wasn't excellent either. The noise was a real problem. I could hear traffic and planes ALL night. The staff seemed overly attentive. I had to explain how I found the food multiple times to different people. It got a little irritating.
