Construction was going on, tv didn't work and I didn't have to get up early the next day because my surgery wasn't until 12 noon and smoke detector alarms started going off around 7:30/8:00a.m we had to jump up to leave the building-keep in mind we had to take stairs & were on 15th floor & Im having heart surgery thst a.m. -then warning was cancelled.......we go back & get in bed and the smoke alarm kept going off & on all a.m. - it was awful. So NOT peaceful before my heart procedure. And.....charged us $90.00 for parking which we were told would be free. DEFINITELY NOT GOING BACK OR RECOMMENDING this Hotel to anyone I know! So disappointing!!!!

The room was great! Everything was clean and there are lots of neat amenities like a nightlight in the bathroom and a magnifier mirror by the bathroom sink. Staff were great and we were given complimentary access to the guest lounge on the 20th floor, which provided soft drinks in the evening and a hot breakfast in the morning.

You booked me in a hotel that was under construction below the 15th floor. I had no idea until we got there. Construction was heard at night. It was not a great experience to say the least
