Breakfast is a treat . I like how they have variety of options and the food was refilled instantly . The curtains in the room needed to be darker to keep the sunlight out. And yes like many other reviews, the wall super thin here you could hear the staffs and people walking in the corridor or children screaming from the other side of the hall

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property specially the parking garage is terrible. The kid with all the make up had a terrible attitude, and didn’t program the garage key or room key correctly, when i went to park my car, i was stuck with no way to turn around, i kept ringing the bell at the gate but the kid, who got mad at me, because he was able to communicate transactions correctly took out on me by not programming the keys. But the time i got to the desk again he was gone for the day
