Concerns of health and safety on this stay. Staff did nothing to detur the individuals on the floor above to keep down their noise and stomping until 3 in the morning and from just before 5 am. There was a school group using the door lock to prop doors open with as they cycled in and out. The doors slamming into this was beyond loud. Again, staff did nothing to address this on several calls.

We had a nice stay. It's close to our favorite bbq place here in town. Elevators were our of service and they found a room on the first floor for us since we had a full car from our road trip to unload in and out of the room. With my husbands sciatica in his leg, we appreciated not having to climb stairs several times to bring things in and out of our car.
