The walls are paper thin. You can hear everything that is said in the next room. Also the doors to the rooms slam shut and it’s loud. But the room was clean and the staff was professional. I would probably stay here again. Just not on st. Patrick day weekend

Tub didn’t have a stopper so no way of taking a bath. Phone in room wasn't hooked up so no way to make an emergency call if necessary. Made front desk aware of both items but no resolve. Front desk personel are not very friendly. I got the feeling I was disturbing them when I checked in.
