We had an ok experience staying at this hotel. We were put on an end room by the elevator. We got back to our room after a long day. We kept hearing an almost constant loud thud. We tried to ignore it by turning on the tv and trying to sleep. This sound would not stop. I called the front desk around 10pm and said how disturbing this noise was and asked if there was another room. I was told rudely that they were full. Shortly after security called and said the noise was from the vents in the wall from being on an end room. He kindly asked if we wanted to switch rooms, which I replied yes. I told him the prior lady told us the hotel was full but he said there were rooms available and brought us a key to a much quieter room. Thanks to this man from security for saving our nights sleep! Overall, the hotel is a little outdated, however it’s clean. I wish I didn’t have to move my family after 10pm but I’m glad someone was nice to find us a new room. The breakfast was nice with many options.

They don’t give you no wash rags their pop machines don’t work they turn the elevators off by 8 PM after eight they have you escort it down through the staff elevators so they can keep track of everybody in and out which is unfair because now I’m stuck on the 12th floor and I am handicap

right from the get go, the front desk staff is snobbish, rude and unaccomodating. The rooms were teriible. the toilet stinks! very dirty. The breakfast is chaotic with not enogh room for guests to sit and eat. The front desk makes you feel un-welcomed and do not want to do their job. It feels as if someone is forcing them to do their job. I requested a higher floor at the time of checkin and did not receive that. Instead received a room with filyhy sheets, no face tissue, no toiletries, no proper drain in the bathroom.

For starters I was rushed at check in. I was not given QR code for food and drinks as they provided with other guests. I was not informed of drink coupons so when I went back to ask then I was told they would be on back of breakfast card. I asked for she Shower caps while downstairs eating was informed that they will be placed in the room so when I returned they would be there. That never happened. I had to clean my room. It was dusty had long hairs in bathroom sink and in window seal. There was a peanut beside the base of the tv luckily I had wipes and disinfectant. I called the front desk to inquire about vending machines was told they are no longer because of Covid and if I wanted a bottle of water I could get 1 complimentary bottle from the front desk and then I would have to pay far anymore only to find out that the next morning that there is a vending machine on each floor. It’s just wasn’t worth all of that hassle considering how much we paid for the room

Room 1401 was directly next to the elevators and there was a constant banging noise allo day and all night. It sounded like somebody was pounding on the wall with their fist. I have stayed at this hotel multiple times in the past and it is nice, but nobody should have to crank the TV up at night to drown out the banging noise from the elevators.
