A noisy NIGHT
I was on the 1st floor and between 7:00pm and 10:00pm There were children running and laughing and banging on my door and running away and yelling for their mom. I called the front desk and they said they would talk to them by 10PM it was still going on. I opened my door and told the mother who was coming down the hallway walking toward her children that this needs to stop- I have to work in the morning. She just pushed her kids into their room 2 doors down and they kept yelling etc. I had to call the front desk again and told them if this continued I'd have to be moved. It FINALLY stopped !!! by 10.30PM !!!!

Do not stay here if you need internet service.
Upon arrival we saw a sign noting they were doing construction. Not sure if this affected the air conditioning but the hallways were very hot. The Ac in the room was cool thank goodness. When we got to the room we could not connect to the internet. When I alerted the front desk they said I would have to call ATT for assistance. What?! I called and after sitting on hold for a bit and then being asked all kinds of questions about IP addresses and such I needed the call and headed to the front desk. The woman there informed me that the internet had not been working properly for WEEKS! I suggested that they alert people about this when they check in as internet is sometimes necessary. I explained that I had work to do and the woman was very dismissive and co descending acting as if she didn’t believe that I really had to work. I ended up having to pack up and leave the next day to find a hotel with internet. It was very much a terrible start to my weekend away.
