New renovations and super friendly staff.. I’ll go back

This is a slightly weird hotel. The design has a big indoor space in the middle, which would be fine, except that there's no natural light/openings. And some of the rooms are designed so that their window faces this space, which is also odd. The room was very nice, but the outer areas (front door, garage) felt more rundown and lower-rent than I'd expect at a place that is designated four-star. The elevator--first day I noticed it was a bit noisy. Then I noticed they had a nicely printed sign in the elevator commenting on this in kind of a jaunty way, and assuring me that it was inspected monthly. Nice. But later that night when I parked underneath, the elevator had a sign outside, apologizing that it was out of order. Sigh, ok. But then I realize I have no easy/obvious way to access the rest of the hotel--like walk back out the garage and around? But then I see a stairway on the far side of the garage. (Now, I have a pretty bad knee and really can't do a lot of extra walking or stairs, so I'm relying on this elevator). I get back in my car, figuring I'll just drive back out and park by the front door. Great idea--except everyone else has done this. The only place to park is the 15 min "guest check-in" area. It was my only solution. I explain this to the front desk --I'm noticeably limping and walking slowly--and she really doesn't like this idea (it's 11:00 pm), but says, "As long as you move it early in the morning." ;-/ (I did not, and it wasn't a problem, but sheesh)
