Birthday stay
Overall the stay was good. Turned the heater on and it was loud, dripping water in the tub. States ice maker on the 5th floor and it wasn’t, went to the 4th floor and the ice maker was broke. Didn’t want to go from floor to floor, so I went to the front desk for ice.

1) The front desk overlooked me as I stood there waiting for some assistance, but then a white family walked up, and the front desk agent immediately responded. 2) The breakfast area needs to be cleaner. There's no one around to tidy up and/or dispose of trays. 3) The carpet in the atrium was dirty 4) The pillows are dreadful and need to be replaced. 5) The mattress in our room was layered with so many sheets that it was uncomfortable to lay in. Thank goodness we were only there for one night.

It was very busy due to a convention. But the accommodations are spacious and clean. Service was also quite good.
