There was a leak in the bathroom wall and the toilet made a high pitch noise after flushing. Not ideal with kids but okay. Could have been cleaned better. Sheets had stains.

Daniel

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Thin walls, so I could loudly hear whenever the room next door was running water. It was so loud that it woke me up. Twice. Beds were too firm, the bathroom wasn't very clean, the TV seemed didn't have nearly as many channels as the in-room guide advertised, and the overall quality of everything at the property was very low.
