Stayed 5 nights and only had issues one night with people drinking and shouting in the hallway which you will hear in your room. Staff was great and accommodating, continental breakfast was ok, cofffee was good. Overall safe place to be and rest up. The rest of the nights were noise free, because staff talked to the people who were there the one night and no feeelings were hurt, all good. Thank you for making my stay comfortable.
