Door handle is loose and had to fiddle with the card to get the door opened. Housekeeping left the TV on which led me to believe someone was in the room. TV by bed was glitching out

The entire floor my room was on was being renovated. The hallways had no flooring laid down, and the workers had very heavy body odour smells which unfortunately migrated into my room, and it was very noisy during the work. I definitely don’t feel I should have paid full price for this room

We were put in a room that had not been finished. It smelled of paint, had an open electrical box in the room, and the staff needed to come in to do some work right when we arrived. The room numbers were not even in the hallway yet. To boot, the hallway was dusty with demolition dust and had exposed cinder blocks. The elevator smelled of smoke and body odor. The breakfast was fine and the attendant was very pleasant

Pat on the back

Booked for daughters 20th for her and a friend so they didn’t have to worry about taxi or anything close to where they where going couple blocks. Night turned wrong from club and someone drove to find them. Security and staff at hotel didn’t let individual up to see but followed all the right direction and protocols and followed up.
