Based on prior reviews, I was concerned about light coming in the windows in the morning, but it wasn’t bad at all. The windows had normal blinds that did the job. I wouldn’t worry about this.
The other bad review I heard about was noise coming from the hallway or other rooms. It’s true you can hear others in the hallway really easily. And one night we could hear our neighbors’ discussions if we were near the wall where they were. (They weren’t excessively loud and weren’t playing music.) But being prepared for the worst, it wasn’t too bad and didn’t ruin our stay. The noise either didn’t last long or quieted down before too late. So that was fine. We were also on the fourth floor so I bet that helped.
The hotel does seem to attract partiers and other types of groups, but there’s also lots of families. Overall, it was a fun, welcoming, lively place to stay, and I’d say a good value and worked for us. It was also pretty clean and everything was maintained pretty well, except the hallway on our floor was a little dated. It was a positive experience!
