The property is alright and the staff is wonderful. Unfortunately, this time I was not pleased. Other hotel quests helped to make my stay there even more miserable. Playing loud noisy music and partying with various visitors throughout the entire night. They finally stopped around 5:30 or 6:00 in the a.m. The plumbing needs some serious repairs. If I flushed the toilet there would be a loud piercing, annoying, whistling from the old water pipes for 5 to 10 minutes. But if you used the shower the whistling would go on for 30 minutes or more. This happened when quests upstairs above me used the bathroom too. Tweeeet swooot!!! How awful! I complained about this to the manager the very following morning. She was kind and sympathetic and moved me to a different room without all the drama. Still I lost quiet time and a nights rest to loud, obnoxious, selfish individuals. I don't blame the hotel for the loud, annoying, creepy people but I do hold them responsible for those terrible, noisy neglected water pipes.
