The front desk was very friendly and we were accommodated into a new room with no issues when we had an issue with our original room. Overall worth the money to stay.

Pros (+) Had the basics
Cons (-) Standard double apparently means you get a room with one bed that's about the size of a twin bed!!! Very unhappy about that!
Pros (+) Location was close to food and room was a value.
Cons (-) Police ran through the halls my 2nd night chasing someone so as they said, "quick! he's running out the back!" I just pulled the sheets over my head and tried to hide.
