I was really able to relax while staying. The only issue I had, which I cannot fault the property for, is that there were people directly above me who I'm pretty sure live there, and their child/children were extremely noisy, and woke me up a couple of times. Otherwise, the staff was exceptionally kind, the room was comfy and pretty clean. Would definitely stay here again.

The heating/ac unit didn’t keep our room warm enough. They put a family with a young child in the room above us (there were many other empty rooms where they could have gone). The family sounded like a herd of elephants stomping around upstairs. Usually, a clean and quiet place to stay

The room was clean and updated, but this was a light sleeper’s nightmare. Noises from inside and outside the room were unnerving. There is no insulation between rooms and you get to hear everything happening outside and around the room (tvs, conversations, traffic on the street, etc) and everything inside the room like the fridge, heating unit and radio (which I eventually unplugged) all made noise all night. If you are a light sleeper have earplugs or stay somewhere else.
