A little construction

I think hotels should be required to tell their guest that there is construction. We heard it starting at 8:30am and we were so exhausted and heard it all morning. The bed was so comfortable

Hotel staff and room are great in general, except two things. 1. Elevator to our room at the top floor (20-ish floor) were not working. We need to call their staff to bring us down through maintenance elevator. 2. They charged us additional $157.99 for breakfast eventhough it had been included in room rate. Charging us that much is insane.
