Renovating?
One of the elevators were broken and it too forever to get to the room. The pillows were oddly uncomfortable, and someone was walking back and forth above us. They need to ask guests to take off shoes or hotel should put more rugs down. The hotel has the potential for being excellent. Are they renovating?

The room was extremely small which was not a huge issue as we were only there to sleep. Unfortunately, I was unable to sleep due to machines (maybe heating system) running all night.

We frequently staycation here. Always have great service but front desk staff this time were not super. They seemed to have difficulty getting us checked in (was a fully prepaid reservation) and seemed bored and put out with having to deal with people. Initial room they put us in was not what we had expected (again, we stay here quite frequently and always get a deluxe or executive suite). They did move us but we were tight next to the housekeeping room so it was a bit noisy. Also found a used tooth flosser under the night stand when I moved it to plug in my phone charger.
Staff at the arms (restaurant) was top notch as usual though and is the main reason we go there do often.
