The hotel itself was clean and staff were friendly. However, there were people hanging out in the parking area below our room partying and revving engines of their cars until 4 in the morning. Looked like a food fight happened there in the morning with garbage all over. Surprised the hotel wouldn’t have cameras in the lot and have called police to have them removed.
