We had horrible sleep. We had neighbors who wouldn’t stop screaming throughout the nights. We ended up checking out early since they wouldn’t move us. And had to book a different hotel for comfort and peace of mind. Definitely had someone screaming like they were being murdered next door. Probably someone on drugs but the manger was no help.

The room was small but very well priced for winter rates. However, it was quite cold. The heater wasnt working very well so it got quite chilly in the room. Additionally, the hottest the shower water got was luke warm. All in all will stay again simply b/c of the pricepoint & location.

The shower is the smallest I’ve ever seen, the room was very cold and the walls are paper thin. You could hear the people in the next room talking clear as a bell, word for word. And at 3 in the morning when your neighbor is snoring like crazy you can forget about sleep.
