We changed rooms with no problem whatsoever. First room was adjacent to someone who brought a dog with them which barked constantly. Room also smelled really musty. Our new room was perfect. Had a great nights sleep.

Hotel room was adequate and clean. Desk chair was broken, and shower pull was broken (could not release to take bath). AC not working properly, but room was comfortable. Our room was next to elevator, so some noise throughout the night. Staff were friendly and excellent service, but hotel needs some renovation.
