8/10 Good

"great location and clean rooms. it was a little loud at times but that was to be expected with 5 festivals going on that week and this location being a hot spot for younger people to come and drink. that being said, some underage kids tried to sneak in by climbing through the windows and they mistakenly tried entering through the window in our room. in the middle of the night. very scary in the moment but no harm done and the staff apologize when we brought it up."
