First off I’ll start by saying, if you book through a 3rd party they will treat you terribly and give you the worst room possible with no flexibility. Our room was 2 windows away from a VERY busy commenter train from 6am-12am and the. The freight trains came through the night. Not enough garage parking for all guests. Elevators were down so we had to carry our bags up and down stairs. Never again.
