Rooms by the elevator are extremely noisy. You can hear the elevator moving every 30 seconds. Pull out bed was very small and not suitable for an adult. Wall heater/AC unit had a hard time staying at set temp so it would go from heating to blowing cold air

We arrived at 11 PM after a long day of flights, anxious to settle in and relax. We were informed we couldn't get a room because the system was down - and to have a seat in the lobby. We waited at least 45 minutes (as did a few other guests who arrived). We told the other guests about the "delay" because there was no staff to tell them what was happening. *or rather, NOT happening. Finally, the manager came out and asked what type of room we reserved (We didn't remember exactly) and said he'd walk us to a room - but he couldn't give us a key. He said he'd put our key under our door in the morning - but he didn't. We couldn't both leave the room in the AM because we didn't have a key to get back in. My husband finally asked for a key at the front desk so we could both go to breakfast together. In the room - the beds were comfy as were the pillows. However, the drawer on the nightstand wouldn't stay shut and kept opening about 6 inches no matter what we tried. The desk chair didn't fit under the desk, so it blocked the area at the end of the bed. You could tell many people tried to jam the chair out of the way because the chair was badly damaged. The breakfast was pretty good - good eggs and sausage and very good orange juice.
