The facility and service was great, but they allow young kids and young teens to stay at the facility and made the whole experience significantly worse with noise and running around the collidors late into the night

The location and overall condition were good but they could use more showers and bathrooms. Additionally, the breakfast is somewhat limited but is adequate. I was going to have dinner there one night but there were literally about 100 teenagers for an event and the chaperones had them start lining up for dinner at the same time as I was entering so I took a pass.
