This hotel is currently under major renovation, we needed to access it through adjoining hotel. Upon initial check-in, the first room they gave us was a room connected to another room which we didn't ask for and didn't want due to the possibility of noise transfer and security concerns. Plus this first room was located just outside of elevators on second floor which would be a noise issue and there was no view because of the overhanging part of the building over the window. It was a lousy room to give a customer, a poor choice by staff. So we asked for a better room, which they gave us kind of reluctantly on the sixth floor, it had a nice view. Unfortunately, that night we could hear someone snoring all night long in the adjacent room which was very disturbing to us and interfered with our sleep. When we told front desk staff about this the next morning and asked for a quiet room, the staff person said to us "well, if you're that sensitive" which was a very inappropriate and insensitive comment. We don't pay them over $200 per night to hear someone snoring in the next room. Obviously there's no soundproofing in this older hotel, this is a deal-breaker for me. After some reluctance on the part of this staff person, they finally gave us a quiet room, our third room in less than 24 hours. I would not book this hotel again for these reasons.

Room 312. The wall print beside the bed had something splashed on it, obvious it hadn't been cleaned. I was also able to write clean me in the dust on top of the microwave and the walls near the garbage can in the bathroom could use a wipe. I was in an accessible room with a walk-in shower. While I did not require this room going in I almost did coming out because the shower curtain is way too short and did not contain the water within the shower area which made the bathroom floor extremely slippery as the little towel they give you for the floor was not sufficient. That said, the bed was comfortable, and the room was quite large. No bacon at the breakfast and the sausage seemed like a low quality brand. The selection of muffins, etc was good. Lastly, the hotel lobby is under construction and the banging started not long after 8:00 but in fairness didn't last that long. Just long enough to wake me up.
