Was ‘upgraded’ to a large barrier-free room that also had a noisy duct, a toilet that ran, and a mattress that wasn't remotely firm. Weird policy where they provide complimentary coffee but not tea, and an annoying valet parking system if you come and go frequently. But overall it’s still a cut above your average hotel room
