There was a dog that barked the entire time we were there, obviously locked up amd no people. We were awakened by a domestic incident as a man aggressively beat on the door and yelled at someone inside for over an hour starting at about 1:30am.

Clean and comfortable room. However, this is the noisiest hotel we have ever stayed in! The loud thumping of a nearby club until 3am kept us awake most of the night. You could hear every step of the people above us, as well as people yelling in the hallway and outside. $200 for very little sleep is unacceptable. This is the second time we have stayed here and it will be the last. No free breakfast or parking. ($13.50)

This is a pretty clean hotel in a nice area. The staff were friendly. The rooms are not as soundproofed as I expected and the whirlpool was cold. Maybe we just caught the hotel on an off day with the pool. Overall though a decent hotel.
