The floor tiles in the bathroom were loose and they had spoiled milk in the refrigerator for breakfast. I was woke up out of a dead sleep around 12:45am to a bunch of drunk people yelling in the hallway. Other than that everything was fine. The staff was friendly for the most part.

We did not sleep at all, there was a party going on and people were yelling in the halls the entire night. We complained 2 times to the desk. Bed was terrible, broken springs.

It was clean and neat. There was a buzzing noise in a room the whole night so it was hard to get sleep. Also, being on the 4th floor, you could hear the wind whistle the whole night. And our tv remote didn’t work.
