Stacy

Disliked: Amenities
The staff was very nice at this hotel. Problem with the door keys almost immediately, people hanging out in the lobby and outside, having a room directly across from the elevator and guest laundry room made for a very loud overnight stay. The toilet ran all night and overflowed in the early morning without any use.
