(1,003 reviews) The staff was great and the room was really nice! The only thing I noticed was that the hallways echoed a lot, especially when people walked around or used the ice machine, which was close to our room. This caused me to wake up throughout the night, but I think it was because of where our room was located. Other than that, I’d highly recommend!
