Horrible Firealarm on Jan 25th night

There was firealarm and it was not managed properly. From 1:30AM to 4:30 am we woke up with constant barage of announcements and loud sounds causing a major headache to al of us and no sleep when we had important issue to do next day morning. When it was life threatening the management should stop the constant loud announcement and some one should speak to us - they neither evacuated us

The room was nice and clean. Overall the entire hotel is nice and clean. Overnight the fire alarm went off and on for almost 40 minutes. I understand that emergencies happen but I don’t understand why it took so long to shut it off or identify any real risk. Our group(night shift RNs/MD with kids) intentionally spent the night out to have a restful sleep and this was just some bad luck.

Overall enjoyed the hotel. We were able to walk to bars and restaurants. This is a convenient location with clean rooms. We absolutely love the reading terminal. However, the hotel alarm was blaring at 1 AM last night and pretty much all night telling us to evacuate. We did not get any sleep and had a flight to catch first thing in the morning. There was a lot of confusion as to what was going on which made the experience even worse. They seriously need to fix that issue. I would stay there again.

I rated it three stars because an alarm went off on and on for 1.5 hours starting at 2am. The hotel itself is lovely but I did NOT enjoy my night because my sleep was wrecked.

Pull up to the front of the property for parking. In an email I was told to go to the 15th St parking entrance. There is nobody there. Other than that, room is clean, breakfast was good and it’s in a nice area.

Facts

Great view, quiet. The room was lacking in towels. Lobby is on the 2nd floor. No security at entrance after hours. Room service has to be picked up at desk. Comfortable bed.
