mixed feelings regarding this stay

dated decor fire alarm

The room i had felt quite dated. Some areas could definitely use an update. the worst part was the fire alarm. It went off in the middle of the night for three nights in a row. no one apologized or explained what happened until i checked out, which i found unacceptable.

Decent Stay Overall

friendly staff spacious room noisy guest subpar breakfast

The staff were friendly and helpful. I appreciated the good-sized room. (It's always a plus to have space to spread out.) The suitcase fold-out support was useful.

The wedding guests were noisy. They kept me awake for a good portion of the night and were making noise outside in the corridor. The breakfast also wasn't great.
