I don’t believe this was really on the hotel but they need to keep better watch. There were a bunch of kids out in the hallway, screaming and yelling and laughing and I know they’re just being kids but it was 11:30 at night and a lot of people are staying at a hotel to get a good nights rest. You can hear every door Schutt the walls are like paper thin ridiculous. I always love my stay there, however this was by far the worst.
