Check your room out!

Hotel was great location and very comfortable. We had bad luck of getting a room with a/c not working. Front desk advised it could take 8 minutes to come on. We headed out, when we came back....no a/c. Moved rooms. Slept great in comfy beds until the smoke alarm battery chirping woke us in the morning 😕 Not a big deal but when I told the front desk guy I just got a grunt. I expected a ' Sorry' or 'thanks for letting us know'. I don't recommend the ice water in the lobby, it had a strong rusty taste. All said, I'd stay again but hope they work on hospitality and maintenance.
