Verified traveler

Just okay
I reserved a loft room but when I checked in the room I reserved was not available and was given a regular room. Even when the hotel called me this could have been communicated. My view was of a roof top and parking garage. Voices carry for someone reason that kept me up until 2am. Not a pleasant experience.
