Nice place to stay as part of a long trip
Service was great, room was clean and well kept. The only issue we had were children running down the hallway at 5 in the morning.
I would stay there again if in the area.

Very disappointing and et stay. Money refund neede
Our room was flooded by an overflowing bathtub above us. It was so bad there was a waterfall coming through the fixtures and a deluge in the lobby. It took staff 90 minutes to find us another room after pushing and that room was also wet but less so. We need a full refund for this ridiculous event
