As a result of a nonchalant, uncaring check-in, I was put on the second floor. I'd asked for a top floor room in writing and in person, and the guy didn't even check to see if one was available. I explained that I awaken easily if someone is above me, but he didn't even check to see if someone was above me (and no, the hotel wasn't sold out). He just didn't care where I went. I was exhausted and had just crossed a time zone line - but people above me were stomping about well past midnight. And even with a noise-maker, the footsteps above me woke me at sunrise, and I swear they just paced back and forth on my head for three hours, so I barely got any sleep at all. It was like having a hammer constantly banging on the wall next to my bed. If the front desk guy had bothered to even consider my request, or pretended to look and apologized for his inability to get me a top floor room, maybe it wouldn't have been so frustrating being kept awake - and then awakened again at sunrise - and getting no sleep at all before my nine-hour drive the next day. And my room was freezing cold and took an hour to reheat to "room temperature." I tried to watch tv but couldn't hear most of the channels - volume level is frozen, I guess, but most channels required top level volume for whisper-level sound. (I am not hard of hearing; I considered this! When the commercials came on, TV blasted way too loud.) And the shower was set to "mist" - no pressure at all. I recommend staying elsewhere.
