Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The positives: Clean room with a great balcony and view. Friendly breakfast staff and good buffet. (fresh fruit would be nice though). Excellent location. The negatives: Super thin walls. We had neighbors that kept us until 2am with their loud voices accompanied by a group of 5 drunken, rowdy people who were in the adjacent front parking lot partying until 3 am. We called the front desk at 1am as well as again at 3am. Kim (front desk) said there was nothing she could do as it was a public area. Police should have been called. Or they should hire security. Front desk staff were professional, but certainly not friendly.
