"Love the location. The check in took forever though as it was busy and they didn't have enough people on the desk. When it's busy they should also have someone greeting the cars as they come in and explaining the parking."

"Soundproofing definitely wasn't great. The room next door clearly had a loud party going till about 1:30 in the morning which made it impossible to sleep until then. The on-site manager offered to let us sleep in another room, which was nice. Aside from that, a decent hotel."
