Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room was decorated as shown in the picture, but the room was run down. For example, the toilet paper holder in bathroom was broken beyond any simply repairs. The grounds were also showing signs of disrepair. We had a downstairs room & were disappointed to be woken up at 10pm by very noisy upstairs neighbors. Noise went on for hours and when I called the front office close to midnight, I was given a dismissive response. Upon checking out early the next am, I left a message for a manager to call me to discuss these issues. I have left 2 more messages and never received a call back. The front desk staff during the day that I interacted with were kind, but I cannot recommend staying here.
