They definitely try and it shows. Certainly a nice place at a very reasonable price. I stayed 5 days for work. When I allowed it, my room was cleaned and restocked. I felt safe here. And I actually never heard the aircraft even though at the end of a runway. I was on 3rd floor facing Highway. Surprisingly quiet."
