Tornado Warning without safe shelter

There were food crumbs on the floor next to the bed that were missed. Biggest complaint and concern is that there was a tornado warning at 2:15am. Signs posted in the hotel said if that were to happen to go to the lobby and we would be instructed where to seek shelter. So we did as we were told only to be left in the breakfast eating area surrounded by windows. Another guest questioned our placement and was told that was where we should go.

Stay was good other then it was extremely noisy and loud. We had to go to the front desk and complain about the noise level. If I ever stay there again it will be at a request for not being on the first floor.

This would be my 2nd stay here and it is still great as the first one. I appreciate how easily accessible the hotel is to park, to get to restaurants literally a walk away, and not a far drive to the convention center. The employees were also wonderful in assisting our accommodations. I definitely plan to make this my go to place to book.
