My mother-in-law came to help us check in and she was not allowed to go up to the room with us. This was very inconvenient because she was helping us. Then, we were kept up both nights because our room faced the dumpsters. We could hear the hotel throwing things away every night. We were unable to sleep peacefully because of the loud bangs and loud conversations outside!
