Disliked: Amenities

The problem is that I booked a corner room, 398 sq ft, through Expedia, and you, Westin, gave me room 1025, which you can verify is very small! I didn't say anything at the time because I was celebrating my anniversary with my girlfriend and didn't want to upset her with any changes. Furthermore, it was located next to the elevator, and the noise was constant day and night.
