Love the hotel location, architecture, decor, and wonderful staff. However, our floor was noisy with doors opened and shut constantly in the hallway and people talking in the hall and next door during late night hours. People can access hotel elevator’s & guest rooms by entering the parking garage from floor 2-6 and “catch a ride” to the higher floors without having to pass through the lobby/reception area , which may post security concerns.
