All but one night the noise was terrible, kids running up and down the hallway playing hockey and then knocking on doors and running away, last night was a bunch of teen girls making a lot of noise. I can there to rest and relax but was not able to. I paid good money for my stay , this is unacceptable. Kids and families should be placed a floor away from others

Rooms and hotel clean. Buffet breakfast was well supplied and hot. Staff very friendly. However on checkout day, in the morning live TV and streaming stopped working. Also just before leaving our room card key wouldn't open our door, had to ask for assistance to open our room. Not clearly marked for check-in parking.
