They put us in the room connected to thr elevator control room. Every 10 seconds it sounded like a truck drove through the room. Staff was aware of the issue and didn't care. 250$ to not sleep.

Lovely hotel, very quiet, comfortable beds. I was looking forward to the pool- it was closed. And the parking garage elevator broke after our 1st night. Very inconvenient with my mobility. They should have offered a parking refund or discount when this happened.
