Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I could hear every little noise in the rooms adjacent and above me, such as the screaming toddler and the party that began around 1am on a Tuesday night. The toilet handle broke, causing the water to continuously run. When I asked for a new room, the staff member not only tried to dissuade me, he also questioned whether I was telling the truth about the broken toilet. When I was finally given a new room, the key card didn't work. I got little to no sleep and had a very important meeting the next day. I do not recommend this hotel.
