Our room was next to the elevator and we heard it going up and down all night. It's really noise. Didn't get much sleep. Also the 2nd night that we came back to the room it had a bad sewer smell to it as if something was backed up.

Terrible customer service and the front staff was always too busy to answer questions and have help. Room service was unavailable for this being a “luxury” hotel. Also felt the annoyance from hotel staff regarding needing items for my toddler. Which I was paying for. Such a waste of our time staying here!
