Clean rooms, but you hear EVERY noise on the floor (elevators, every convo, doors closing). Shuttle is a great resource! No coffee maker, so bring your own. Someone left a dog in their room, started barking incessantly before 6:00 am, and continued for over 2 hrs. If your goal is a good night's sleep, try a different hotel.
