I would not book this hotel again. It is very old and needs updating of the facilities. The shower was horrible and there was no exhaust fan. Most of our problem was the noise. We had a street facing room and there was some kind of frat party across the street. The windows were vibrating with the music. The party ended around 10, students took the next few hours to leave and then the noise got worse. Around 1:30 am they were cleaning the street and picking up the trash. We got no sleep and the hotel could not move us as they were full.
