This property is located near many great dining and shopping options. Parking was easy and it was simple to access it from the interstate. Given the name, MICRO, the rooms are small, but I did like the firmness of the bed. It seems like there may have been an intent to upgrade this hotel recently? It seems like things in our room were kind of just painted over; there were definitely corners cut. There was insulation coming out from around the windows. The worst part was the noise. We heard every single thing our neighbors upstairs were doing. It was not a great night of sleep.
