The rates were over $200.00 per night and the hotel was sold out, meaning there were a lot of disappointed people in the hotel. At least the ones who didn't bring any ear plugs. At 2 A.M one of the hallways fire alarms started beeping (it needed a new battery.) I finally called the front desk and they told me they would call maintenance. At 3 A.M I called again and they told me they would call maintenance. Eight o'clock the next day it was fixed. Me and my family were up most of the night because the hotel wouldn't take the time to put a $2.00 battery in a fire alarm to stop it from beeping. I guess the men working in maintenance valued their beauty sleep over the welfare of their customers. Oh yes, the kids slept in the pull out sofa bed, the mattresses all had nasty stains on them. After switching three rooms we finally got one without a stain!

Beds smelled fresh and clean. However we could hear the people in the room beside us who seemed to be speaking in a normal tone.
