The hotel staff put me in a first floor room with a floor to ceiling window that looked out at a service walkway. I’m a pretty regular guest here and this was clearly one of the worst rooms in the hotel. The front desk associate assured me that the room was safe. I asked for another room and they reluctantly put me in a second floor room that was a full 2 minute walk from the elevator - which was fine, but they tried to detour me from taking it as “it was quite a long walk”. They did not provide me with a folio and said I needed to retrieve it elsewhere. I stay at this hotel often, but will think twice about booking here again. Incredibly disappointing.

This place is old. Probably nice back in the day, but it needs to be gutted. Full beds are tiny and not for 2 adults. Terrible sleep. There was a larger balcony area off our room. The sliding door was coming off track and it had been painted shut at one point because the paint is stuck to door. Yet they market this space. Staff was very nice. Just need to start over and remodel
