The staff is unhelpful. The walls are almost paper thin. We could hear everything what was said next door and in the hallway. We asked to be moved. The room we had faced the parking lot. The rest of the room faced the moutains or trees. The manager told me to take or leave. They dont sell scenery. If we wanted to leave they would charge us anyway.
