Jennifer

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I asked the front desk to have a room with no one above me, as i had not slept in 24 hours. She gave me a room and I was woken up 2 hours later with stomping above me. I was given another room, but i had to move all my stuff and I was so exhausted and sleep deprived. Very poor planning on their part, especially as the place had very few people staying there.
