not so good

the room was very clean, beds were comfortable. Had to get our own towels,took our trash to the front desk, then they were out if clean towels. Covers did have stains which made it look dirty. The loud guess that stayed up way passed midnight drinking in the lobby, kids running throughout the hallway. we were on the second floor, right above the front desk /lobby. we were there for 2 nights stay, was there for a state volleyball tournaments, which our daughter played in. and it was tough to sleep with all that , then the 2nd night, more people drinking, if my family wasn't so tried from the all day tournaments, we would have left and drove the 2 +hours.
