If you have a kid in diapers, dont stay here. No trashcans anywhere in the hotel except your room. They expect you to keep dirty diapers in room because if you keep it outside your door to take to garbage outside the hotel, staff and maybe a guest complains. The hotel staff send nasty texts about kicking you out if it happened again. They dont offer any advice or let you know of an area to throw them away.

unexpected upgrade

I checked in at a out 2:30 pm, and my reserved room was not yet ready. I was placed in a suite that was already cleaned which was a tremendous upgrade from the basic room which I had reserved. The room was lovely and comfortable.

Great, until an elevator was out of service.

The only bad part of the trip was that one of the two elevators (which are small) was out of service in the morning at a busy time. I was on the 15th floor and lucky to get the last spot in the elevator going down to the lobby. We stopped at about 7 other floors, and others had to bow out due to a lack of room.
