Night without sleep
The room was ok, it was a family gateway and when we were about to go to sleep the next door neighbors started doing their dirty laundry and my kids could hear it. We needed to turn on the TV again because we had kids and for sure we didn’t want to hear them do their dirty laundry.My kids finally fell asleep but they didn’t let us sleep.

Staff left us stranded with an infant and another family at the park for over an hour after closing. We called the hotel to find out the driver went on lunch break because he was never told there were others waiting to be picked up. NEVER AGAIN
