Our smoke alarm was going off at 3 AM due to a needed battery change. We ended up having to go to the lobby and were reassigned another room. We were told the Manager was not in upon checkout and were not given any kind of apology or to expect a follow up from management. Tired and disappointed upon checkout .

As a Gold member when enquiring about any available room upgrade we were told that there was a cost associated with it. They were also not very flexible with a late checkout and parking.
