It was over priced for...

Liked: The breakfast had a decent variety, a good selection. I liked that it was close to restaurants and the expressway.
Disliked: We woke up around 3am to two gun shots being fired and were unable to go back to sleep. I know it woke the people in the room next to us and they packed up and left.
