Pros:

The staff was friendly when I checked in.

Cons:

The noise level. I had to purchase a fan to drown out the noise in the hallway. People slamming doors, talking and laughing late into the night and very early in the morning

Ok on your end. Everything else about our trip off-car trouble, sick, hectic schedule. But hotel was good.
Pros:

It was very nice.

Cons:

I wanted to be closer to Helena. And you had a closer property, not sure why booking selected this one.
