Stair door and exit door slamming all night long. If you get stuck in room 124, good luck going to sleep. It’s across from the stair door and next to the exit doors that get opened and slammed at all hours of the night. This room should be turned into a storage room. No chance of sleeping with slamming doors all until 3am every night. Overall hotel was fine as long as you don’t get put in room 124. Awful!

The rooms were very dark and smelled like mens cologne. This is a good spot for a guys trip but not families or business women looking for a cute place to stay near the mall so they can shop after work

Cleaning staff was talking about the guest that were staying at the hotel in spanish. Felt uneasy every time they walked by . They were complaining about how the rooms where .I guess they thought i didnt know spanish , the only reason i didnt say anything was the fact that i had my kids with me. They were rude . I did tell the manager but he didnt do anything , i was waiting after i told him and all he said was "is there anything else you need " .
