It was clean and welcoming. We went with kids and it was too loud at night. Not a good place for a restful night. People were out in the halls late at night, 3am, being loud and smoking. The deposit required for incidents is nit refunded right away. Staff said it could take up to ten days and I just hope that’s the case. I don’t plan to stay there again. Our peace of mind and rest is priority.
