We love the breakfast, however they were late opening 2of 4 days. Most of the staff were pleasant, but always a downer when you have 2 complaining about their jobs to guests.

Great location. Very “budget kind of” place. The free breakfast was a mob scene. People lined up like cattle and the food was horrible. Same with the free cocktail and Happy Hour snacks. Herds of grabby people kids running everywhere with stacks of food up and down the elevator. Total mayhem. The walls to our room were so thin that we could hear The person next to us snoring all night.

The location was perfect. The happy hour was a bit crowded. Too long of a line for drinks.

Very disappointing. Came here with my 14 year old daughter for her birthday. Hotel is so loud, you can hear everything, sirens all night long, maintenance people cleaning. Night one was good. Night 2 a nightmare. Couple next to us having sex all night long, sounded like they were in our bedroom, could even hear their entire conversations. Walls are paper thin. I have stayed in many, many hotels, never had this problem. Disgusting and ruined an entire night, I was up all night trying to protect me daughter from the real live porn happening. Called security, they said it’s a “delicate matter”. I want my money back for my 2nd night. I slept on the plastic couch, got about 2 hours of sleep.
