Four star starting to slide for a bargain - user review I picked this hotel because it was a good deal. It is a little past its prime, but a good value. That means you'll see more children running around because it's affordable. We had a false fire alarm at 430 am: don't know if that was connected. Part of the strategy of offering bargain rates is to ext... expedia.com
