Be more considerate, if its your fault.

I was very disappointed that I had to wait 1hour and 30 minutes for the 3pm check-in. They did not accommodate me with anything to address their shortcoming.

My husband and I stayed on 7/4, arriving after 11pm. The staff were not logged in and didn’t seem interested in logging in to get me into my room. The woman passed the buck to the gentleman who said he also wasn’t logged in. There was no offer of assistance to the room or questions if we needed any assistance. It was like being there was a nuisance. The night was awful. The curtains are not long enough to block out light, and the door lets in a full rectangle of blinding light. Even with sleep masks, it was very difficult to find darkness. The noise was quite intense. I can understand July 4th, but to not reign in the noise in the establishment seems ridiculous.
