Room had bath towels on the floor to cover the draft coming in from the patio doors. Should be an actual draft protection, not showing that bath towels are used this way. Or a better weather stripping on the bottom of the patio doors.

The room was actually pretty and clean and staff was pleasant. Unfortunately the walls are very thin and they have a bunch of tech bros at conferences yelling and making it difficult to sleep. I also could hear snoring in the room next door. If you’re a light sleeper it’s not a place for you.

clean room and nice staff I was unhappy that the cups in the room were all paper/plastic - it is much nicer and more eco friendly to use glass/ceramic cups and glasses.
