There were kids running on the floor above us. It was ridiculous. It was nonstop from about 9:30 pm to midnight and started in again at 7am. The feont desk person told my husband they would look into it but nothing changed. They acted like it was no big deal, said it was just kids having fun. We won't be back. We were extremely disappointed.

Toilet was plugged. Maintenance came with a snake. Front desk accused us of flushing a toy. I got a plunger myself and cleared it with four pumps. A 9 year old at breakfast approached the waffle area and the woman managing breakfast yelled at him saying he needed an adult. The boy started crying and indicated he just wanted more syrup. Overall, a good ecperoence ... staff could just use a little coaching.
