The heating system was not controllable in the room. It was too hot for comfortable sleeping plus the fan was always on and very loud. Staff had no way of controlling it. Thermostats in the room didn’t function.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Never Again! I used to like staying here. However this past trip, I was put on the same floor as a firefighter crew and they made a lot of noise and heard doors slamming all night til I got up at 6am. I had called the front desk at midnight who didn’t even attempt to quiet them down. The morning staff came up and she told one of the guys that they need to keep it down cause of complaints, so I know I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t sleep. For the price I paid, I should’ve spent a little more to get a quieter or nicer hotel!
