Unfortunately the property is doing major renovations and were extremely loud right above our room. We were not advised about possible noise when booking, even though we booked just a week before our stay. Free continental breakfast was a joke. I wouldn't advise depending on it. We walked out and bought our own meal at a local cafe.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
I stayed two nights, the first night was OK because it was relatively quiet, and we did stay in a handicap room which served me perfectly at the moment because I have a bum knee. The second night we had made a reservation after the fact so they had to move us out of the room while we were attending a baptism so we were rushed packing before we had to leave, and the staff moved our things to a different room. when we came back late in the evening they put us in a room that was facing the street, which was absolutely horrendous because we heard sirens all night. We turned the air conditioner on so we could muffle the sound, but that was even worse! Room 333, stay out of it if possible, no water pressure also! I don’t like staying in a hotel that does does not have a private bathroom. The wash sink and mirror work in the same area where the beds are. So the light has to go on when people are sleeping. Not a good idea experience.
