The walls were paper thin. We could hear our neighbor snore. Also, the water stopped working on the day we left. I think if I had stayed in the new section, it would have been good. Don't stay in the old section. The front desk staff was very good and when our water stopped working, she let us use another room to shower.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was dirty. My socks turned brown from walking around. There was debris on the floor that wasn't swept. I got jabbed by something on the floor. The room was old and smelled. The walls are not sound proofed and I could hear the person in the adjacent room snoring. To make matters worse the staff opened my room at 2am and tried to enter with a guest. I told them to leave. She apologized and said the other woman said this was her room. I did file a complaint with the front desk in the morning. They said to go through you for a refund.
