We were woken up by a fire alarm at 5 am due to the lobby fireplace activating the fire alarm. There were no instructions, followups during the alarm and or any discussion after the fact. When asked for compensation they said it wasn't their fault, would have been nice if they waived off the 20$/night parking fees that they do not advise you off prior to booking your stay.
