Loud loud fire alarm that just would not stop. Employees said it happens all the time. Ouch. We have kind of had it with this place. The food is terrible now. Oh. They add an extra 15 fee when you get there. If things like that make your head explode do not stay here. I ment to complain to Expedia because I think it is against their rules but I forgot all about this place.
