What made this hotel night a slight nightmare was something that may not have been 100% controllable the first time. The second and third time the fire alarm went off(unnecessarily) was absolutely not ok. Around 12 am in the hallways. Then 2 more times IN room. It was horribly loud ear piercing jolting you awake. We left at 7 am. Upon check out no Manager was on duty and no compensation was offered. But honestly im not sure what could have made us feel better.

The main issues with our first room on the second floor was the bathroom glass barn door wasn’t installed correctly causing the door to stick, hard to move and jump out of the track. Also the charging outlets in the center bedside table didn’t work. We were transferred to another room which was much better in regards to these two items. To turn off the accent lights under the bench we had to unplug them.

The lighting was very dim without the ability to turn it up. I could barely see enough to put on makeup or do my hair which was an anomaly given how many hotels I’ve stayed in. The breakfast buffet is too expensive for what you get. Otherwise a nice property.
