We stayed here a week and only had housekeeping come in once. Some of my wife's makeup was stolen during that time. The room cleanliness was subpar and the elevator smelled like weed every time we used it. Staff was friendly.

4 AM furniture, moving!

The day was fine until 4 AM when people were moving into the room above us. It sounded like they were moving furniture for 15 minutes. Finally I called the front desk and the gentleman said he would check into it. No change for another 15 minutes. I called again and he said a family of four with a dog I checked in. He informed me that the walls and ceilings are not very thick, so sound reverberates? I do understand that; however, I don’t know why the noise was not addressed. I understand there is some noise when getting settled in a room. But considering the amount of noise they were making, it should have been looked into. Sound them like things are being thrown across the room for a half an hour!
