Liked: Staff & service
Our room was not as clean as it could have been. The walls were not very soundproof in that we could hear the TV loud and clear from our next door neighbor as well as all the footsteps from the people above us. The breakfast was fair. The front desk associate was friendly though and the beds were comfortable.
