Disliked: Staff & service
The location and price are right. The himeless encampment and late night activity was concerning. Air conditioner sounds like a freight train! Bathroom in need of serious repair. Location was great, and overall pretty clean. Breakfast area is a tight fit but had bananas, pancakes, cereal, yogurt, coffee, juice, and tea.
