The walls of the room were pretty thin in the back building. We also had a fan that sounded like an airplane taking off. Luckily it wasn’t too hot and could turn it off while sleeping. Tried to get dinner at the Bennigan’s attached and was never seated along with a few other families. Not a great stay

Staff was very helpful & efficient. Rooms are clean & comfortable. Only downside this trip was the lack of an elevator. Seems they have been struggling with it & finally decided to replace it. Just one flight up, so not too bad.
