1. Upon checking in let me begin to list my disappointments to me and my girlfriend: Our suite had a view of a emergency exit ladder and run down building, the room though said it had been fully remodeled was very run down outside of some new TVs and desk, carpet kinda smelled, and our bed sheets had wear marks in them, I had asked for extra towels and pillows and did not receive either, I asked for extra extra pillows 3 times and never got them, to get to the gym/fitness center I had to walk through the Mezzanine which they used for weddings, conferences,etc with 200+ people.
