We were given an odd room on the 3rd floor. It was at the the end of a very long hallway and through a second set of fire doors. Felt like we were in a different building by the time we got there. I'm pretty sure the 3 rooms in that particular alcove were designed for guests in wheel chairs ( I know ours was ) which is strange given a) 3rd floor, b) how far it was from any amenities and c) the fact that the double fire doors at the end of the trek were not automated (good luck rolling out of there in the event of a fire)
The room itself was bright and clean. It was also an echo chamber. Mostly bare walls and floors, with zero acoustic dampening of any kind on the ceiling. By the sound of the neighbors TV (it might as well have been in our freestanding pressboard closet unit) the rooms around us suffered the same issue.
The room also offered a lovely view of the secure parking structure we were not able to use (even though we were charged $10 a night for it) as the hotel can't be bothered to to track how many spaces it has sold to it's guests / employees.
An un-labeled switch by the door disables all the lights in the room so if you happen to hit that one when going to bed you'll be using the restroom in the dark.
The shower was a complete fail. Poorly designed for guests in wheel chairs and almost useless for anyone attempting a wash standing up. The shower head was placed in the middle of a shallow yet wide curtained cubby. Water pressure was laughable and what little did come out flowed all over the floor behind you as the drain is set in the middle of the room.
Final gripe: The "low profile" luggage wagon barely fit 2 small duffles and the rear tires stick out wider than the cart itself so prepare to knock into a few things on your many trips to and from the lobby.
