The elevators were horrible! Half of them didn’t work. Other than that it was great. A little noisy in the room from outside noise and not great insulation from the window.

Only complaints. Way too many people hanging in the lobby - on the floor, on the stairs, etc., eating food, etc. not a very pleasant way to function. Also, no bar (other than Rareties)? In 2025 in a hotel? Unheard of.
