Could be better!

There was a lot of noise in the hall on Friday evening. Kids running back and forth. Also a baby screaming the same evening in the room next door! Finally, the room was not made up on Sat when we returned late afternoon, even though we left the sign off the door which meant you wanted the room made up! We called and got some fresh towels but had to chase down housekeeping for extra tp.! Over all the staff were nice and accommodating but they are lacking overall. Perhaps they are short staffed?

Parking problem

Everything was good except for parking . Had a very hard time finding a spot . Had to drive around and wait in the car for a long time before I got one . Several vehicles were double parked . Where they told me to park was all full .
