The AC in the hotel did not work. Maintenance had to reboot the system and it caused all of the lights on AC and smoke detectors to blink. Luckily only lasted about 15 minutes and did not interrupt our sleep.

check in and breakfast

The major issue is that when we checked in the system was down and we had to wait, the check in person said they would get us, but I had to go to the desk to find out the system was back up. The other thing, is that breakfast cost $30 each. We saw thw buffet, not worth even close to $30,,,, we elected to eat elsewhere.

During check in, the staff didn't tell me anything and just charged me $100 per night for deposit. No information or direction was provided during check in. Stayed for 3 nights. No housekeeping provided. I called them on the 2nd day asking about housekeeping, told us that housekeeping is every other day. but they never showed up. Parking is $40 per night. Going in and out is inconvenient Supplies in the room wasn't refilled when I first entered the room. Had to ask them to refill them. No hand soap was provided in the bathroom, had to ask them for it.
