Won’t stay here again.
Paper thin walls. Your hear everything in the neighboring rooms. Refrigerator in room didn’t work. Maintenance had to come fix it. Tub didn’t drain until I work on it for 15 minutes. Rooms seemed small for the price. The bed was very comfortable though.

We’ve stayed several times at this particular hotel, always clean, always a safe feeling, the beds are comfortable, the location to activity, and the price point all seems reasonable.
