Lots of deferred maintenance here. First off it’s nearly impossible to sleep with the nightclub blaring music every night until past 2am. We were on the 34th floor (17 floors away) and it seems like the music was in the room next door. I can only imagine how loud it must have been on the higher floors. Our bathroom door didn’t shut, all the equipment in the workout room was a either out of service or 15+ years old, you had to take two elevators to get anywhere (perhaps for safety purposes). The food was just okay…nothing impressive. The building has lots of signs of needing update (rust all over). The staff was mostly nice. Our room was not ready on time. Very disappointing stay. This place is highly overrated.
