We had very loud people staying in two rooms above us. Finally went to the front desk at 4 am and they did seem to get them to be quiet after that. We paid the extra $25 for parking under the hotel thinking it would be secured overnight, but the gate was open at all times. Ironically, a sign by the garage entrance indicated the parking was at no cost for guests.

The room somehow as a weird alarm clock on the nightstand, and probably, the previous guest set the alarm at 6am, which waked me up in the early morning... It was super annoying. It almost ruined my day. Additionally, the front desk service is consistently disappointing. Only the woman serving in the morning is friendly; the others are pretty rude actually. Don't come for your happy holidays!
