9.4/10 Exceptional! (939 reviews)
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.

Great location downtown, reasonable room rate. The staff was very friendly and accomodating, particularly the young woman that was working the desk, the afternoon I checked in. She was outstanding.
The breakfast was very good as well.
