Walls too thin. Could hear and feel person above snoring. Asked for a different room. They said they had none. Didn’t give a refund. Had to check in to the hotel next door which was much quieter and thicker walls.

Travelled with group
Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean and roomy. Check in was seamless and staff friendly. The only drawback was that the air conditioner would not stay on for any length of time and we were told this is a recurring problem, in part because the unit is inches away from a bed making the unit's thermostat think the room is cooler than it is. The remote for the television wasn't working and the young man at the front desk couldn't solve the problem, so he generously let us use the master remote. Would stay there again.
