We arrived they had pur room ready. Unfortunately the room was right by the construction so we had a horrible view and our curtains did close full so all the lights from outside came in. Then went to the bar not enough staff for the area. I asked for a drink and watched her serve everyone but me. I finally ordered an "easy" drink so i could get something. I have stayed here before and none of this happened. Hopefully they can fix it before our next stay.
