Liked: Amenities
Housekeeping only runs every other day, which isn’t terrible in its own right. But no one told us on your cleaning day, if you don’t take “do not disturb” off the door before 11, your room will not be cleaned. 4 nights without new towels or emptied trash bins is a less that ideal stay.

The room was loud...you could hear everything...sneezing, coughing, walking, doors, etc. Our room was the last room on the bottom floor with I believe a garbage area on the other side and constant blood noise! The room had a perfume strong smell with mold smell as well...so strong made you sick and get a headache because you could not get any sleep.
