Our room is 97 degrees! We called the front desk and they didn’t know how to fix the issue. We are getting sick and very dizzy from the excessive amount of heat. Help!

Not happy

This was a date night for my husband and I. We get one night out every once in a while. We booked at this location after reading such good reviews. We checked in no problems and the associates were all very nice. Went into the room and it smelled horrible of paint. Room was clean no problem there. When the room was booked it was to have the king size bed and the sofa with the bed. There was no sofa. Not enough light. Would have helped to have a lamp or something where the table was. Then to top it off in the morning the workers were pounding and banging doing whatever construction the hotel has going on. Now I can appreciate the changes that are being made, but you pay a lot of money to stay for a relaxing evening and this is what your woke up too. There’s 4 floors why couldn’t the section that’s being worked on be closed while they do that, or at least let the guests know to see if that is a problem for them.
