4/10 Fair

I stayed on the loft side. Sadly the room above me never slept and the occupants paced the floors all night. The floors wooden and old, they squeak when someone walks on them. I slept less than two hours because of the constant noise from the squeaking floors. The hotel was clean inside, outside was under remodel with dumpsters and debris on the ground. The rooms were dated and the led lighting was cold and not bright enough to see by. The bathroom was spotless and the shower pressure was great.
