Very loud noises at night. Sounds like some people live there
When checking in. I asked if they can accommodate us on giving us a lower level as we had our grandmother with us that is elderly and he walks with the walker and they couldn’t also pulling in. We seen a gentleman take the screen off one of the windows open the window and open the door from the window and proceed to go in. There was a lot of people in and out banging on the doors pets in at the property very dirty. The towels that were given to us were very dirty.
the property was not that bad, but it was just no access to the internet, and it was people fighting and arguing in the middle of the night next door at 1 in the morning drunk and loud for at least 90 minutes and no one from the hotel came to stop them.
