Overall Score2.0/ 5
Not a good experience I notice that the people of color mostly AA are on one side of the hotel and the Caucasian on the other side of the hotel. I have stayed at this hotel at least three times a year and I notice this to be true. My room was at the end of the hall in a corner where we were disturbed by loud music. The bathroom directly in front of the door about two steps from the door to enter the room. The bed was 6 steps from the door you could hear everything and everyone that came down the hall.
