"Average"
Overall Score3.0/ 5
The first room had a very noisy A/C unit and we switched rooms. The 2nd room the toilet would run off and on. We had to shut the door to be able to sleep even with a noise machine. The cost of the room didn't match what the room was. Good location and that was about it.
