Somehow the front desk staff allowed something to the tune of 40 teenagers to go into the room beside me and made noise all night. The situation ended in the police being called and ultimately a bunch of teenagers roaming around the hotel none of whom were actually staying in the hotel and they were all unchaperoned. The staff was great but was not able to produce the needed human trafficking certificate. The feeling of the facilities wad overall uncleanly.

So not in the greatest area of town but was very surprised how clean the place was. The entire staff was super friendly and nice. Even though I didn't have one its worth mentioning that It's also pet friendly. Continental Breakfast was very good also.
