Nice stay

Stay overall was good, only bad thing was the extremely loud fan with the heat that had no on/off switch. Had to use ear plugs to sleep the next night. Staff was very apologetic and tried to fix issue. Otherwise, stay was really good. Clean and breakfast was decent for continental at a hotel.
