Solid stay near the park

hot showerhelpful staffgood choicepeeling wallpaper
My standard double room was clean and had everything I needed. The hot shower worked well. I had a good choice of pillows, made sleep easy. Staff at breakfast were helpful and friendly, with plenty of choices available.
The groups were very noisy, difficult to sleep. The room did need some TLC. I noticed wallpaper peeling off in places.

overwhelmed staffnoisy hallway
The breakfast was definitely a scene of utter pandemonium. I saw tables not cleaned. there weren't enough cups! and the staff seemed overwhelmed, though i must say, they tried their best.. twice. plus, i could hear kids racing down the hallways all night. it was a symphony of tiny feet and slammed doors. Absolutely irritating.
