We had the worst night of sleeping EVER at a hotel. The only rooms available when we checked in were next to the elevators. The front desk staff said they turn the elevators off after a certain time at night. Nope! They ran all night long . The bed vibrated at least every minute or two from the elevator running up or down. Horrible night of sleeping. Which is sad, because we thought the hotel was rather nice.
